Street Sense won the Kentucky Derby with a dream trip over a Churchill Downs racing surface he obviously loves. Curlin, still lightly raced with only five career starts under his belt, came back and ran the Derby champ down in the stretch to win the Preakness by a head.
How about the Todd Pletcher-trained King of the Roxy, who gets the services of Garrett Gomez and will go postward at a healthy price. What are the chances that Street Sense gets the dream trip he got in the Derby? And we already know he loves Churchill Downs. How much will he love Pimlico Race Course?
While Street Sense was impressive while winning Saturday's Kentucky Derby, I don't believe the colt is going to win the Triple Crown. Number one, he's shown a fondness for Churchill Downs. He also won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile over the track and the Preakness and Belmont are not at Churchill Downs.
Take a good look at the Neil Drysdale-trained Union Avenue in today's seventh race at Hollywood Park.
