 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - When Street Sense was running next to last along the backstretch, Carl Nafzger didn't flinch as he watched the Kentucky Derby unfold from the owner's box at Churchill Downs.
"Never thought about it," the trainer said Sunday morning between sips of coffee outside his barn. "He was a long way back in the Breeders' Cup, too."
And just as he did in winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile last year over the same track, Street Sense made an electrifying run around the far turn, picking off every one of his rivals and capturing Saturday's Derby by 2 1/4 lengths.
