As usual, there has been a bit of a lull in horse racing coverage since the end of the Triple Crown trail. But now that the Breeders’ Cup is looming on the horizon, Street Sense is once again drawing his share of attention.

And no wonder. The Kentucky Derby winner is without a doubt one of the finest-looking horses ever born. The dark bay finished first at the Travers Stakes to record his fourth victory in six races as a three-year-old; Street Sense finished second at the other two events – including to Curlin at the Preakness.

Street Sense has yet to win a Breeders’ Cup Challenge event to qualify for automatic entry into the Classic, but it’s inevitable that he will appear at the Oct. 27 race. Whether he’ll be favored depends in part on his schedule; trainer Carl Nafzger has yet to decide where his prize thoroughbred will race next.
