Default Another Impressive "Street Sense" Work

......happened to be next to the clocker when they reported his times. 12:2, 24:2, 36:2, 47:4, 59, 1:11:2 Calvin had a big smile coming out the gap (as we can all imagine).

Thx S.A... Appreciate the 'on the scene' update.. Have heard Team Nafzger is all smiles in general...

(Also.. Sorry that we won't be needing the Officer Rockett reports after all.. )

Great info, SA!

Officially credited with a :59 five-furlong breeze, EASILY the best of 18 at the distance.

Street Sense could be the real deal. It wouldn't surprize me if he does break that curse.

Somebody paid attention in statistics class

Street Sense IS the real deal. He should be favored, and if he isn't the public is making a huge mistake. People get too caught up in trends like the BC Juvy jinx (which, if you look over the winners, especially the last 8-10 years, have been less than stellar beasts) and supposed absolutes... meanwhile the horse that may take over the role of favoritism has raced THREE times, total... another supposed Derby faux pas.

But you couldn't win the Derby off a 5 week layoff, or be a gelding, or from New York or Pennsylvania, or not have a 100 Beyer, or be a front runner, or sleep on the left side of the stall, yada yada...

guys to me this race boils down to this:
street sense is the best horse, and we know he likes cd.
he didn't look that hot on the tires, but he bounced back last year from a bad race on the tires to dominate the big one at churchill.
i think he'll do it again.

Sharp it was..I'm going to drive myself crazy thinking about whether or not I believe he has enough foundation this spring because everything else points his direction. One key that we will have to guess about others is that this horse obviously loves Churchill. Reminds me of the way John Ward put Monarchos in the Churchill barn weeks before the others arrived.

What's interesting about this Derby is that very few of the top contenders have the "correct foundation" for a Derby winner. Curlin's raced three times, Street Sense and Great Hunter only had two preps, Circular Quay is off eight weeks, Hard Spun's off six. The more traditional routes have been by Any Given Saturday, Nobiz Like Shobiz and Scat Daddy.

His final prep race is what tightened the screws and that was on POLY.

Champion Street Sense delivered a knockout performance Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs. With jockey Calvin Borel up, 2006 Eclipse Award winner Street Sense, owned by James Tafel, worked a bullet five furlongs in 59 seconds and did not draw a deep breath coming off the track.

That's all I need to hear.
