Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 30, 2019 Journalists Share Posted December 30, 2019 MAXFIELD (c, Street Sense—Velvety, by Bernardini)O/B-Godolphin LLC (KY). T-Brendan Walsh. Lifetime Record: GISW, 2-2-0-0, $354,412.Last Start: 1st GI Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity, KEE, Oct. 5Next Start: Uncommitted.Equineline PPs. KY Derby Points: 10. Maxfield’s 5 1/2-length clock-cleaning of the GI Breeders’ Futurity field at Keeneland Oct. 5 was flat-out the most visually impressive Derby prep race on the autumn schedule. Considering he had never before raced against winners or around two turns, it was ultra-impressive how this Street Sense Godolphin homebred settled, wove through the pack, then bounded outside and swooped past seven horses between the three-eighths and quarter poles before opening up big in the stretch under light encouragement. The reason Maxfield isn’t ranked higher on the initial Top 12 is because he’s recovering from surgery to repair a “mildly displaced” ankle chip, and he’s only up to farm training in Ocala right now before a scheduled return to trainer Brendan Walsh’s stable at Palm Meadows in several weeks.
