Regarding Street Sense... I also think that SS will pair up and move up in the Preakness....
In the Tampa.. Street Sense and AGS ding donged thru the best late pace move from all of the Derby prep races this year leading up to the Derby..
In the Kentucky Derby, we all saw that huge move from 19th place to catch up to Hard Spun almost at the mile mark.... This was Street Sense early speed race....Thus the Preakness will be his "race".....
Street Sense's prep races somewhat reminds me of Afleet Alex from two years ago.....
Afleet Alex ran his sustain race in the Arkansas Derby and ran too close to the hot pace in the Kentucky Derby to finish third.....
Then in the Preakness..he move up and ran his race there and in the Belmont.....Wow..Some trainers have the confidence to map their three year olds to win the Kentucky Derby off their pair up races.....
