Street Sense Colt Stretches Out Successfully at Keeneland

3rd-Keeneland, $109,550, Alw (NW1X), Opt. Clm ($100,000), 10-14, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:46.34, ft, 5 3/4 lengths.
STRETCH RIDE (c, 2, Street Sense–Q Go Girl {SP}, by Quality Road) handled his first two-turn attempt with aplomb, drawing away to win clear Saturday at Keeneland. Off at 9-1 having graduated with a late-running victory over six furlongs at Churchill Downs Sept. 17, the bay colt took up a position from between rivals as Astronomico (Frosted) set a quick early pace at the fence while odds-on Lightline (City of Light) was trapped out three deep through a half in :47.56. Stretch Ride was allowed to nose in front by Martin Chuan at the three-eighths marker and was scrubbed along, but was doing the better work inside of the chalk, who was doing his best to keep pace. Despite hanging on his incorrect lead for the length of the short stretch, Stretch Ride went away with each stride and had 5 3/4 lengths on Lightline–a big-figure debut winner at Horseshoe Indianapolis–at the wire. Seize the Grey (Arrogate), a latest fourth in the GIII Iroquois S., plugged on at one pace to be a non-threatening third. Purchased for just $5,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton October sale, Stretch Ride made for a nice profit when hammering for €100,000 at this year's Arqana May breeze-up sale. Jackpot Ranch acquired Stretch Ride's dam for $147,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Horses of Racing Age sale in 2019 a short time after she finished third in the Panthers S. at Prairie Meadows. Stretch Ride is her first foal and is followed by a weanling colt by Yaupon. She was most recently covered by Street Sense's Grade I-winning son Speaker's Corner. oftlineSales history: $5,000 Ylg '22 FTKOCT; €100,000 2yo '23 ARQMAY. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $135,495.

Well-Traveled Street Sense Colt Debuts a Winner

7th-Churchill Downs, $118,425, Msw, 9-17, 2yo, 6f, 1:10.76, ft, 1/2 length. STRETCH RIDE (c, 2, Street Sense–Q Go Girl {SP}, by Quality Road), sold for a mere $5,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton October Sale, was consigned by Knockanglass Stables to this year's Arqana May Breeze-Up and made for a solid profit when hammering to West Point for €100,000 (under-tack breeze). Sent off at pennies shy of 14-1 for this first trip to the races, Stretch Ride led briefly after the break before allowing favored Handsome Herb (Practical Joke) to take up the running. Off the bridle and ridden along by Peruvian Martin Chuan three furlongs out, he was put to a more vigorous drive in upper stretch, angled out three wide leaving the eighth pole and edged past pace-pressing Agoo (Munnings) to take it by a half-length. After earning her lone career stakes placing in the 2019 Panthers S., Q Go Girl was purchased by Jackpot Ranch for $147,000 at that year's Fasig-Tipton Summer HORA Sale. Stretch Ride is her first foal and she produced a Yaupon colt this season before visiting Street Sense's GI Carter H.-winning son Speaker's Corner.
