Post Preakness Thoughts

Damn, that was a horse race. Unfortunately my horse got nipped at the wire. I was afraid of Curlin improving over the last two weeks, and it came to be. I still think Street Sense is a great horse. Curlin is just as good. A near photo finish that was the fastest Preakness ever. I was initially worried when the early fractions were crazy fast. Then I felt better when Street Sense made his move to the front, because he passed Curlin pretty easily going into the stretch, and normally a horse won't come back from that. Well, Curlin did, and I had a bad feeling when he came back that he was going to catch Street Sense. Hopefully, both horses will go to the Belmont and they'll promote it as a match race to decide the rubber match.
