Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense won't compete in Belmont
Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense won't compete in the Belmont Stakes so trainer Carl Nafzger can prepare his colt for the Travers Stakes and Breeders' Cup Classic later this year.
"Mr. Tafel said let's not chase spilled water," Trainer Carl Nafzger said, according to AP. "We spilled our water during the Preakness. We got beat. We got outran."
"I know there's disappointment we're not going to the Belmont," Nafzger said. "But somewhere we want to make another stand."
The scratching of Street Sense leaves the Belmont with five probable starters, including Curlin and Kentucky Derby runner-up and Preakness third-place finisher Hard Spun. The other likely Belmont entries are Tiago, Slew's Tizzy and Imawildandcrazyguy.
