has made history as the first Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner to ever win the Kentucky Derby. Hard Spun was second, Curlin finished third, and Iamawildandcrazyguy finished fourth.
Street Sense also made history as the first two-year-old champion to win the Kentucky Derby since Spectacular Bid did it in 1979.
As the media noted to no end, this race was notable also for it being Queen Elizabeth II's first Kentucky Derby appearance although she has been in Kentucky many times over the years.
Street Sense was the post time favorite, which has been unusual in recent years. The final time was 2:02.17, way off the legendary Secretariat's time of 1:59.2 in 1973.
Trainer Carl Nafzger had his first victory in this race since his memorable win with Unbridled in 1990.
Let's hope this horse can do the job and win the Triple Crown.
