Nobiz takes lead in Dispatch Derby Poll

[JJP]

Street Sense ran a monsterous race in the Breeders Futurity; he just didn't happen to win. There's no doubt in my mind he ran a far superior race to the two heavy chalks (Cirq Quay and Great Hunter) who narrowly beat him. He was 4-5 wide through the first turn, then makes a giant move wide into a 46 3/5 1:11 and change pace, which is lightening quick over the Kee Poly. The Kee Poly was also playing severely anti-speed. He continues wide through the second turn, disposes of Teuflesberg, a stakes winning sprinter, Bold Start, an allowance winner over a strong 3YO field at GP, and Birdbirdistheword, the Delta Jackpot winner and opens up a lead in midstretch only to get run down by Great Hunter and get nosed out for second by Circular Quay. I think one thing is clear: the Breeders Futurity proved to be the key race for the BC Juvenile.
