Street Sense’s Shared Sense Makes the Grade in Indiana Derby

[Wandering Eyes]

Making his graded stakes debut and looking to give trainer Brad Cox and jockey Florent Geroux a sweep of the evening’s two graded races, Godolphin’s SHARED SENSE (c, 3, Street Sense–Collective, by Bernardini) got a cozy inside trip, spun four wide into the stretch and outfinished an unlucky Major Fed (Ghostzapper) to win the GIII Indiana Derby at Indiana Grand. Last but one early, with only Major Fed behind, Shared Sense took the inside route down the backstretch and made two-path progress into the second turn. Major Fed, consigned to a wide run beneath James Graham, looked to be going better while in about the five path at the point of the bend, but hard-ridden, Shared Sense hit the spot before Major Fed four abreast at the entrance to the stretch. The homebred kicked over to his right lead and pinched a break, leaving a game Major Fed to give game, but futile chase. An objection launched by Graham against the winner was rejected and the result was allowed to stand. Bred on the exact same cross as the now-injured and undefeated Maxfield, Shared Sense is the 70th black-type winner for his GI Kentucky Derby-winning sire and his 33rd winner at the graded/group level. Lifetime Record: 8-3-2-0. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Brad Cox.
