>Does anyone really think stevens is going to send Spanish Chestnut?<

He's been on the lead in all of his routes and pressed fairly early in both sprints. He was a bit rank in those races. Being inside, I think he will make some attempt for the lead but perhaps give the battle up fairly quickly if Going Wild appears determined to get it. The thing is, SC's stretch runs in his route races hardly look like he can sit off GW and then pick him up plus hold off Declan. I think GW is the faster speed horse. So I think SC is in a difficult spot strategically if he backs off or decides to fight (unless of course he moves forward more than the others).
