Street Sense/Hard Spun on the Poly @ TP

[Sandreadis]

the Kentucky Cup (G2) at Turfway might be a nice spot to take a shot against SS. Can\'t imagine there will be too many others brave enough to enter against these 2. If HS has his way on the front end, can\'t imagine a less than fully cranked SS could catch him. We\'ll have to see how the TP strip is playing this week. It sure was kind to speed in HS\'s win in the Jim Beam or whatever it is called now. Any early thoughts??

This makes old fashioned common sense, so there is probably some kink in it.

HS might just go off the favorite in this race considering the distance, surface and expected pace.  SS has shown in his last two that he\'s much more ineffective and loses his closing kick when he has to stay up closer to the pace.  SS is going to have to run faster earlier than ever before.  HS may run him off his feet.

Haven\'t heard of any other horses confirmed for the race.  Could be a match race.

Regardless of the race shape, Street Sense will be bet down to 3/5 or lower.  Hard Spun will not be favored over Street Sense.

Yes you were Chuckles.

Maybe tomorrow you will predict that the sky is blue.

In a 4 horse field with absolutely no speed at all, what else did you expect??

[Street Sense]

You guys know how to note words highlighted in BOLD?

My post was in response to someoen who indicated I was a little nuts to think that Hard Spun might just go off the favorite in this race.  I thought the ML spread was off.

If I ever post a brag over a bet, it wouldn\'t be over one like this.

As Steely Dan said, \"Did  you feel like Jesus?\" You did good, God.

I bet these. There was only one scenario that was remotely credible here.
not arguing a 4/5 isn\'t just 4/5, I get that. I play pawns. .80% of something else. Could pay for something good, if not, I can stop. Real control cash flow conscious.

Street,
Then it might have helped if you had highlighted the original comment you were responding too.

I\'m still trying to figure out how this race was worthy of commentary in the first place.

It is bolded.  Just like \"is\" is, or do ya\'ll not see that either?

Biggest race of the day and nary a word from you guys.  Thought my light-hearted comment would kick start it.  Guess not.  Carry on about whatever the win pool is about.

Street,

....and you guys should check the chart which shows that Street Sense was the post time favorite not Hard Spun.Is the chart wrong?
