Street Sense, the Kentucky Derby champion will not run in the 139th Belmont Stakes on June 9.
“Mr. Tafel and I said we spilled the water in the Preakness and got outrun,” Nafzger said at a news conference this morning at Churchill Downs. “That’s behind us now. We’re going to regroup and go to the Travers.”
Tafel wants to his colt to have the chance of becoming the first horse to win the Derby, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, the Travers and the Breeders' Cup Classic now that the opportunity of winning the Triple Crown has passed.
"I know there's disappointment we're not going to the Belmont," Nafzger said. "But somewhere we want to make another stand.
