This was the most exciting Triple Crown I've ever seen when a different horse won each race. Usually when that happens, people lose interest in the Belmont, but Street Sense, Curlin, and Rags to Riches were all great and really put on a show for us.
I completely agree. It was a competitive bunch of horses. Though my personal favourite was Hard Spun and he was always somewhere in the picture too. I actually would put this series just under American Pharoah's as one of my all-time favourites.
Jockey Calvin Borel was a very funny showman with the outriders and the crowd in his all three Kentucky Derby victories! He is an excellent jockey and an extraordinary person! I admire him very much!
…I met him briefly at the Breeders Cup in 2010 and he was a super nice dude. When he took a leg up for one of the early races I said “Go get ‘em Calvin” as he went by on his horse…and I’ll never forget that smile ;)
I never get tired of watching this video, and I cry each and every time with tears of joy for Calvin's first Kentucky Derby win! What a ride Boo! You waited a long time for this and you showed 'em! You're the best! Never underestimate Calvin Borel, he's still got it!
There are so many future champion sires in this race. Street Sense, Hard Spun, Curlin, Any Given Saturday, Scat Daddy. All produce very capable offsprings.
I really felt that Street Sense was one of the best horses, all-around, to compete in the Derby. It is neat to see Teufelsberg who ended up siring Trinniberg. Hard Spun is also doing quite well for himself. Thank you for posting this. It was wonderful to see this again. BRIAN
Very talented top contending 3 year olds that year in Curlin, Hard Spun, Street Sense and, subsequently, Any Given Saturday. These guys knocked each other around pretty hard and ran with the maturity typically found in older horses.
Yes and Curlin and Hard Spun finished 1-2 in the BC Classic that year and beat the older male horses. SS was fourth. That hardly ever happens. It did when American Pharoah won, but it is rare when two 3 year olds finish 1-2.
Agreed totally. Palace Malice is quite a fine and consistent runner. Even Curlin's sire, Smart Strike, did not appear on the scene until he was three years old. I do believe that these sires will make an impact in time. Empire Maker seemed to be off to an inconspicuous start, but his runners are coming into themselves, also. BRIAN
Street Sense´s trainer Carl A. Nafzger (born August 29, 1941 in Plainview, Texas) was honored with the highest honors of two different sports in the same year: In 2008 he was inducted on both National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York and Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame. He trained 1990 Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled, which is great-grandsire of 2015 Triple Crown Winner American Pharoah. Congratulations Mister Nafzger! Greetings from Venezuela.
@@Caroni100 That win that Street Sense got over Hard Spun was thrilling in 07 K Derby. He does not get through on that rail and that second of daylight and HS is pulling away from the entire field going wire to wire. Fantastic job having that horse ready...and great rivalry between SS, HS and Curlin.
If you havent watched the ABC footage of the 1990 Kentucky Derby, with Carl describing the race to owner Frances Genter, who could not see the race due to poor eyesight, I HIGHLY suggest you do. Special moment. Carl Nafzger is a great trainer and human being.

And don't forget Curlin. His babies seem to take get better as they get older (but then again, so did he) and many have declared him a failure because it has taken so long for them to get rolling. But man, can they run once they grow!
This is Peter Dinrdo instead of calling Calvin bored borails they should have called him big balloons he had no fear rode hard never gave up always gave you a chance great jockey for horse racing

He definately deserved it.

Hard Spun ran a remarkable race to finish second after setting that pace. This crop was so fantastic.
the way Street Sense just blitzed the field when he decided to go
can we just talk about how special this class of 3 year olds was
yup, let's talk about '07 class

Great ride by Borel and heart/guts by Street Sense to weave through horses.
Two royalties were in attendance of this race
Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the UK
and Richard Petty, the King of NASCAR racing
It was actually three. I heard Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago, was also in attendance....

Calvin Borail.... 2 of the best rides ever. Street Sense and Minethatbird
This was a very impressive field, Street sense won this race against some monsters , Curling, Hard Spun , Any given Sunday and Cowtown Cat...
Yes as time goes by that becomes more evident.
Oh yes! That years crop was amazing!
Calvin you are simply the best...!!!! God Bless you and lisa I wish you Love and long life together..!!
It's so amazing because The tip 3 horses in this field had won, placed and showed...
Now all 3 are amazing sires.
unreal move by street sense on the turn

Great trainer and a good guy.

That's right Mister Stuart H. I'm totally agree with you. Carl Nafzger deserved both Kentucky Derby victories he got.

Great day in horses racing history Street
I think, as time goes on, we will see many more Curlin runners coming in to the light.
Betty and Phil picked a great year to come 👍
Goodbye , Betty and Phil ; you're with , Rupert and Paul now ❤
Street Sense ang Mine That Bird rode the same strategy by Calvin Borel.
This is Peter Dinrdo instead of calling Calvin bored borails they should have called him big balloons he had no fear rode hard never gave up always gave you a chance great jockey for horse racing
Legendary
two veteran jockeys takin win and place awesome rides hard spun ran hard but street sense saved enough juice to the end
I just realized that Calvin reminds me of Red Pollard, Seabiscuit's jockey. They could have been brothers.
Why do you tell us the winner in the title? We want to watch the race!
