It's great to see Borel so fired up from the time he crossed the finish line to the winners circle. What a great moment at the Spa. Good for Street Sense and all of his connections. Next stop is the Travers!!

I agree. That was a nice ride, relaxed him but kept him close, didn't allow himself to get bottled, then when he asked for the switch to the right lead at the top of the stretch, it was all over. Two bumps from CP West (tired) coming out was no factor. If SS comes out sound, and no reason to think otherwise, the Travers is a lock. Congrats to Carl N and all the connects

Yea I was so glad for the whole crew. Big Congrats. Did everyone catch Calvin saying Street was pissed after the last work cause he couldnt go faster?hehe And CP West ran a nice race for 2nd.

I'm a Street Sense fan, but wow, CP West ran a huge race on the lead. Never gave up, even when headed. He's coming into his own for fall. Hope he comes out of this fine.

Reminds me of one of Came Home's other 3-year-olds, a nice little allowance filly ...

i see riot and i think the same about those came homes. i'll wish well of them all now, as any good efforts help the whole family!

how refreshing to see a derby winner run past the spring classics. perhaps a sign of things to come, maybe sooner or later they'll start running at four as well!

wonder tho about curlin...padua making the move to ky, their exchange rate leaving fla for a ky farm....can't help thinking their classic winner (and yes, i know they are part owner) will soon be named as heading to the same farm as the grey son of danzig, and join his own sire as well.

It's terrific. Does anybody know how the Saratoga attendance was today compared to previous years?

If only they would show more racing on national TV, they would indeed gain a wider audience as people could follow particular horses. That means more people going to the track to see their stars in person. The racing industry has always seemed to shoot itself in the foot, never noticing how being the national sport slipped away via neglect over the years. Horse racing never pursued TV aggressively, and now it's virtually gone from even newspapers ....

Huge congrats to Street Sense, thank you to Calvin and Carl!
