In the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby yesterday, Street Sense and his jockey Calvin Borel blew past the competition to win the Derby.
Street Sense is the first Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner to win the Derby and he did it on the same track where he won the Juvenile by 10 lengths six months ago. He was also the first 2-year-old champion to win the Derby since Spectacular Bid in 1979, and the first colt to win with two or fewer prep races since Sunny's Halo in 1983.
Street Sense left from the same No. 7 post as Unbridled did when he won17 years ago and they both had the same trainer, Carl Nafzger.
Keep an eye on this colt when he runs in the Preakness in two weeks.
