Sense To Take It Easy Before Classic Prep Connections of Street Sense will give the Kentucky Derby hero a deserved break after he became just the 10th horse in history to follow up his Classic success with victory in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga.An overwhelming 2-5 favourite, the Street Cry colt overcame Grasshopper in a grueling finish to the 1million contest, getting his head in front by half a length at the line.'He was really stressed after the race,' winning trainer Carl Nafzger said.'That's why we got him out of the winner's circle real quick and got him to the water hoses.'He was starting to get an effect of the heat. He walked off good.'Street Sense, the first since Thunder Gulch in 1995 to win both races, now has a number of options prior to a crack at the 5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Monmouth Park on October 27.Before heading to the Garden State, Street Sense's next options could include the Jockey Club Gold Cup on September 20; the Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs on September 22; the Hawthorne Gold Cup on September 29; and the Kentucky Cup Classic on September 29.'We'll look at all of them,' Nafzger said. 'The Classic will be where we'll try to go.'(C) PA Sport
