Dunno if he got warm per se but Calvin got a wet sponge and gave him a sqeeze all over his head and flank to which Street Sense sorta went 'hey thanks man that feels good' in horse speak. I didn't see sweat dripping off him on the tv but who knows. He seemed fine and Calvin was taking care of his boy's comfort quite joyfully. The flowers did get on him...it's just that the winner's circle stuff moved pretty quickly, probably because they want to take care of the horse and also because Tafel's 83 years old and would probably like to sit down.
