Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense and Preakness Stakes winner Curlin continued preparations for the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic on October 27 at Monmouth Park on Tuesday, posting half-mile breezes at Churchill Downs and Keeneland Race Course, respectively.
Jim Tafel’s homebred Street Sense covered a half-mile in :48.40 on a fast track at Churchill under regular jockey Calvin Borel.
Street Sense completed the workout in fractional times of :13, :25.20, and :37 and galloped out five furlongs in 1:00.40 and six furlongs in 1:12.40 for trainer Carl Nafzger, who was pleased with the strong move.
Street Sense is expected to post one more workout at Churchill before he ships to Monmouth, approximately ten days before the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Curlin is expected to have his final Breeders’ Cup workout at Keeneland on October 22 and is scheduled to ship to Monmouth the following day.
