FRANKLIN \u2014\u00a0Midway Racing\u2019s favored Street Beast was just that, becoming the second horse to win twice at Kentucky Downs\u2019 seven-day meet with a seven-length victory over Awesome Connection in Sunday\u2019s $1 million Global Tote Juvenile Mile.<\/p>\n
Kentucky Downs has one remaining day of racing, Wednesday, with the featured $2 million Blackwood Distilling Dueling Grounds Oaks.<\/p>\n
Street Beast, who had been second at Ellis Park in his Aug. 1 debut, won Kentucky Downs\u2019 opening-day $250,000 allowance race restricted to colts and geldings that had gone through the sales ring at last year\u2019s Keeneland September yearling sale. In the Juvenile Mile, Luan Machado settled Street Beast just off the pace set by eventual third-place finisher Baytown Dreamer, taking the lead at the top of the stretch and drawing off to cover the mile in 1:33.72. He paid $4.08 to win.<\/p>\n
The second victory at the meet matched the 4-year-old filly Stellify, who after winning an allowance race opening day won the $2 million Light & Wonder Ladies Marathon on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a nice horse,\u201d Machado said of Street Beast. \u201cLast time he showed he can sit right off of it. But he\u2019s very quick out of the gate, so that helps me to get in a comfortable spot. He traveled very comfortably the entire way.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast time, he was a little aggressive. But this time, he was way more professional. He didn\u2019t fight me. He was always there for me. When they kind of came to me, he was all there for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Awesome Connection, with Jose Ortiz up for Chris Davis, closed to take second, with Baytown Dreamer and jockey Ben Curtis grudgingly giving way to take third. Swamp King finished fourth, followed by J J Grey, Thunder Zeus, Ciborio, Chalky White and Duke of Suggins completed the order of finish.<\/p>\n
Street Beast gave Keeneland-based trainer Ben Colebrook his first win in a $1 million stakes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a little aggressive early on in his training,\u201d Colebrook said. \u201cSo we ran him short the first time just to get a race into him, always thinking we were going to stretch him out down here. He showed so much speed, I thought, \u2018Let\u2019s run him 6 1\/2.\u2019 We started thinking about maiden races. I had another filly that I entered four times and she still hasn\u2019t gotten in. So I said, \u2018Let\u2019s just run when we can.\u2019 So we ran in the Keeneland race (for horses who went through the ring at last year\u2019s Keeneland September yearling sale), and that worked out. And this race was coming up pretty tempting, so we said let\u2019s take a swing at it.\u201d<\/p>\n
And they hit a home run.<\/p>\n
Colebrook said he wasn\u2019t influenced by Tiztastic, also a maiden going into Kentucky Downs last year, sweeping the Keeneland allowance and the Juvenile Mile.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t really remember that until somebody else told me,\u201d he said. \u201cTo be honest, what gave me confidence was the way he came out of the race. It didn\u2019t take anything out of him. We know he likes the course, which is a big question a lot of times with horses. For a million bucks, there were 600,000 reasons (the winner\u2019s purse) to try it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if a horse is doing well, the \u2018bounce\u2019 is kind of overrated, if you run\u00a0back before two weeks. When a horse is doing well, I think you have a zone of time where they\u2019re going to continue to do well\u2026 I\u2019ve had good luck doing that, but very limited starts. But certainly down here it gives you reason to because it\u2019s such unusual circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
The $591,400 first-place purse brought Street Beast\u2019s earnings to $760,644, of which $741,400 came at Kentucky Downs. Colebrook said he\u2019s noticed a change in the colt since his last race.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a weird way, he\u2019s been more aggressive in his gallops but more relaxed around the barn,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was kind of the opposite before. He didn\u2019t really take a hold of the bit in his gallops sometimes, and he\u2019d be goofing off. But there was no goof off. He\u2019s figuring it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Colebrook said the Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar could be on the agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the Breeders\u2019 Cup, the way he ran today, you have to think about it,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been excited to run him a little bit longer. And he really got me excited watching him today. Because he did it so easy. Luan, as soon as he asked him, he exploded.\u201d<\/p>\n
Street Beast was purchased for $85,000 at the OBS April sale by bloodstock agent Davant Latham, whose partnership races in the name of Midway Racing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe acts a lot more professional than a 2-year-old, and he\u2019s a May foal,\u201d Latham said. \u201cThe way he finished, the way he drew away, who knows? We\u2019re just so happy to be here today. Don\u2019t ask me about tomorrow. Today is great.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe did everything right. He ate up like crazy, didn\u2019t leave an oat. He\u2019s been bucking and kicking all week. How many chances do you get to run for a million? And we know he likes this course. So we were elated to have the opportunity to run again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quiet Street makes noise for Godolphin in Untapable<\/strong><\/p>\n The Kentucky Derby-winning connections of owner-breeder Godolphin, trainer Bill Mott and jockey Junior Alvarado teamed to win Kentucky Downs\u2019 $1 million Untapable Stakes as Quiet Street surged through the stretch for a length victory Sunday over Snow Face Princess.<\/p>\n Alvarado, who rides Derby winner and leading 3-year-old Sovereignty for Godolphin and Mott, noted that he won his first Kentucky Downs race last year \u201cand now the (first) stakes on a pretty nice filly.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s a filly; she has to do it whenever she\u2019s ready,\u201d Alvarado continued. \u201cSo I was just biding my time, just making sure that when she was ready for me that I would have horse under me. And that\u2019s what we did today. I kind of showed her the way when we turned for home, and she was very powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n After saving ground for the first half-mile, Alvarado eased Quiet Street out and came six-wide through the stretch to wear down Snow Face Princess. Quiet Street finished 6 1\/2 furlongs in 1:14.80 and paid $6.64 to win in the field of eleven 2-year-old fillies.<\/p>\n Snow Face Princess, winner of Saratoga\u2019s Bolton Landing Stakes for trainer Todd Pletcher, was making her first start since being purchased through Fasig-Tipton\u2019s August digital sale for $775,000 by Ron Winchell, co-managing partner of Kentucky Downs, and turned over to trainer Steve Asmussen. With Irad Ortiz up, Snow Face Princess in turn wore down Believe in Magic and early leader Carolyncaroline. Prowess finished fifth, followed by Z Z\u2019s, Trading Trouble, Blazing Brat, Hot and Dangerous, Ritzaphena and Liz\u2019s Image. Program favorite Lennilu was scratched in favor of running in Florida, with Kingsolver scratched after spiking a temperature a couple of days beforehand.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no small feat for a horse to win their first two races, because after that initial win, they mostly face horses with more experience.<\/p>\n \u201cShe got plenty of experience in her last race,\u201d said Michael Banahan, director of bloodstock for Godolphin USA. \u201cShe got pinched back at the start, got in a little bit of trouble and had to fight through a bit of traffic, came wide like she did here today. So at least she got a lot of experience out of that race, showed a good turn of foot as well.<\/p>\n \u201cLooked like a little bit of extra distance would help her. She broke well today but just didn\u2019t have the early \u2018toe\u2019 of some of the others. But she still had a nice position. When Junior got her out, he said she was a bit green and looking around or whatever. But once he got her out, she leveled off. She finished up the hill nicely, so it was a very pleasing result. Very happy with the way she performed, 2 for 2, a filly doing that is impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n So what now?<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a good question,\u201d Banahan said. \u201cLook, if she wants to stretch out a little bit more, I suppose maybe look at the Breeders\u2019 Cup. Not too sure. (Keeneland\u2019s) Jessamine might come a little quick, and we got another filly for that. We\u2019ll get her back home and regroup and see what we need to do with her. But she\u2019s certainly done us proud at the moment anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Street Beast cruises by seven in Global Tote Juvenile Mile Published 10:45 pm Sunday, September 7, 2025 1\/2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4107],"tags":[1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-407095","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-racing","8":"tag-racing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115167151448790117","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
