3-year-olds chart courses to Classic

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Street Sense savored the last part of his summer stay at Saratoga on Sunday morning, stopping every few yards on the walk from trainer Carl Nafzger’s barn to the main track for his customary morning-after-the-race jog.

“This is going to be a long walk,” Nafzger said, among the constant starts and stops on the 12-minute walk.

This was just 13 hours after Street Sense outfought Grasshopper by a half-length to win Saturday’s $1 million Travers Stakes, becoming the 10th Kentucky Derby winner - and first since Thunder Gulch in 1995 - to win both races. He also became the first 2-year-old champion to win the Travers since Rhythm, 17 years ago. (via Hard Spun News)
