Am I crazy?? Street Sense's next start

I am guessing that they won't train right up to the Classic so looking at available stakes races 30 days out. You have the HAWTHORNE GOLD CUP a Grade 2 going 10 panels for 500k. Tafel is a Chicago guy and I am guessing he doesn't want to ship back to NY for the Gold Cup, when he will just ship to Chicago from KY.

Has anyone heard what his next start might be as a prep for the Classic?

I heard it will be the Super Derby on September 22 or nothing. I believe TizNow used it as his prep the year he won the Classic.

I believe the Hawthorne race would stick him with too much weight.

It would for 3 year old's and up and they never get a horse that is worth Graded Stakes competition. I seriously think they might consider it

Sounds like they are going straight to the Breeders Cup.

Ian says they are going to the HGC, The JCGC or maybe the Turfway race

A polytrack race at Turfway wouldn't surprise me. They liked prepping on it for the Derby. I did read they might train up to the BCC though, but that was before the race today. I really doubt they go to the JCGC though.
