Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense worked five furlongs in a snappy 1:00 at Churchill Downs Tuesday morning as the Street Cry colt completed his preparations for Saturday’s Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.


With regular jockey Calvin Borel aboard, Street Sense went to the track soon after sunrise over the Louisville oval. With a large national and local media contingent and a few fans on hand, the colt stopped periodically to take in his surroundings en route to the track.


Street Sense, who won the 1 ¼-mile Kentucky Derby with a come-from-behind rail skimming ride by Borel on May 5, will be seeking the second leg of the coveted Triple Crown in the 1 3/16 mile Preakness. The 1 ½ Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park on June 9 completes the Triple Crown.


Once on the track, the colt was all business, getting fractional splits of :12 3/5, :25, :37, and :48 3/5 for a half-mile. After completing the five-eighths of a mile work, Street Sense galloped out six furlongs (three quarters of a mile) in 1:12 3/5
