Trying to break the curse of the Juvenile winner and Eclipse champion failing miserably in the Kentucky Derby is Street Sense, reigning champion of this crop of contenders.
No champion two year old or Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner has ever done well in the Kentucky Derby. However, the field for last year's Juvenile was one of the most talented in years.
Street Sense is by Street Cry, a very lightly raced yet talented stallion who has a pedigree to back him. Street Sense's mother, Bedazzle, was also a decent race horse, competing at the Allowance level in racing, which is just under the graded competition that the other Kentucky Derby contenders are taking on now. Her mother, Majestic Legend, competed amongst the top of her age in the stakes races. Street Sense's pedigree is good, suggesting that he can both be tough as well as go the distance.
But whether or not that actually happens is something that is yet to be seen. He makes his return to racing and his sophomore year debut in the Tampa Bay Derby on March 17. All eyes will be on this talented colt as he attempts to break the 22 year old curse of the Juvenile winner jinx at the Kentucky Derby.
