The Kentucky Derby winner got past pacesetter Grasshopper in the final sixteenth of a mile Saturday to win the Travers Stakes. It is the colt's third career Grade I win. Those two were more than 10 lengths clear of third-place finisher Helsinki.
Interestingly, it was Calvin Borel on Street Sense and Robby Albarado on Grasshopper. Albarado and Borel hooked up in a sensational stretch run in the Preakness, with Albarado prevailing on Curlin.
While watching the replay, Street Sense's trainer Carl Nafzger was asked if it brought back any thoughts about the Preakness.
"I don't ever think about the Preakness," he dead-panned.
It's on to the next race for the Derby and Travers winner, but it's not certain where that will be. There are several options, or Nafzger could just train him up to the Breeders' Cup Classic.
