i was just curious, street sense got a nice rail skimming trip, buy saturday didn\'t have a bad trip either, would the board guess that street sense saved about one full point?

Saturday lost ground on the turn and will get the better fig.

Jerry can correct me on this, but AGS was 3-4 wide on the turn. That\'s about 2-3 lengths, which at 8.5 furlongs is worth a little over 1 point.

However SS could be expected to improve another point or 2 in his next couple of starts after the lay-off - especially since Nafzger didn\'t have him fully cranked.

It\'s also possible that even if AGS had not gone wide and come at SS with a bit more gas in the tank, SS might have just refused to let him pass and run another point better. Of course that one is a lot more speculative than the first 2.
