Street Sense’s Never Explain Proves Hungriest In Dinner Party

[Wandering Eyes]

Making his stakes debut as a 15-1 gamble in Saturday's GIII Dinner Party S., Courtlandt Farm's NEVER EXPLAIN (h, 5, Street Sense–Black Oak, by Forestry) found his best stride in the final eighth of a mile and dashed home quickest of all to best favored Hurricane Dream (Fr) (Hurricane Cat). Settled midfield and racing covered up at the fence behind GI Pegasus World Cup Turf hero Atone (Into Mischief), who made the running, the $475,000 Keeneland September acquisition was ridden quietly on the turn, was pullled out and put to a Flavien Prat drive in upper stretch and stuck his neck across the line first in a driving finish. Pace-pressing 'TDN Rising Star' Emmanuel (More Than Ready) was third and the top six home were covered by no more than three lengths. Never Explain, a record-equaling fourth winner of the Dinner Party (ex Dixie) for trainer Shug McGaughey, is the 93rd worldwide stakes winner and 40th graded/group winner for Street Sense, who was famously tagged on the wire by Curlin in the 2007 GI Preakness S. Sales history: $475,000 Ylg '19 KEESEP. O-Courtlandt Farm; B-Hidden Brook Farm & Godolphin (KY); T-Shug McGaughey.
