You'll see him again in early August in either the Haskell or Jim Dandy..probably 75/25 in favor of the Haskell.

After which he will run in the Travers.

And after that---anyone of a number of different things could happen. He may train up to the Classic off his Travers race...or he run in the Jockey Club Gold Cup....or he may run in one of two Meadowland Stakes...or he could make his final Classic prep in the Kentucky Cup Classic over Turfway's Polytrack. The reasoning for that being...his two big wins in the Juvie and Derby both came after running on Polytrack in the prior start.

I think this was more a hypothetical discussion about whether Street Sense could win the SF against older horses, and not so much a predictive discussion about where he is likely to run. Personally although I think he could easily win the SF I highly doubt that he would run in it. However, I don't pretend to know where he'll run.
