The Quest for the Triple Crown - Street Sense

I came out on top on Derby Day thanks to a Super in the 11th, but I was a loser on the Kentucky Derby itself. Sure I had Street Sense on top, and under him Curlin, but I missed on the 8 (Hard Spun) and the 5 (Imawildandcrazyguy).  My longshot was Great Hunter.

Still, I was impressed by Street Sense. The horse did not appear tired after coming from 20 lengths back to win with ease. That should mean that this horse can take the greater distance. With that said, I was also impressed by Curlin who got jammed on the rail, was hit twice and  then came from nowhere to show. Curlin could be the triple crown spoiler.

You can watch the race here.

Street Sense is a great horse however, so I'm pulling hard for him in the next one.
