After recording two winners in quick succession recently, Street Sense recorded his third individual winner when the Danny Velasquez-trained I Sense Your Luck saluted on debut at Del Mar, USA, over 1100m.
Jumping away swiftly from an outside gate, jockey Patrick Valenzuela allowed the filly to sit in third position throughout. Rounding the home turn the filly hit the lead and held off the late challenge of the runner-up Gradma’s Rules to score by a head margin.
Bred by Dixiana Stables Inc, I Sense Your Luck is the third named foal of the Stakes-winning Out Of Place mare Racing Luck and comes from the family of Stakes winners Aspiring Proof, Aspiring Nick, Sir Pinder, Casperoo, Fabulous Prospect and Synastry Express.
Street Sense, a son of global sire sensation Street Cry, is the only horse that can boast the G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile and G1 Kentucky Derby double to his impressive resume. He is the Eclipse Champion Two-Year-Old Colt of his generation, and the leading first-crop sire at the sales - with his yearlings selling up to $575,000. The history-maker will stand forthcoming season at Darley Kelvinside for $38,500 (inc GST), along side Street Cry at $110,000 (inc GST).
