Early visitors to the stable area at Churchill Downs received a rare treat Sunday morning when Street Sense jogged a mile one day after winning the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I).

After trainer Carl Nafzger and his wife, Wanda, served up doughnuts and coffee to the assembled media horde as the sun rose over the Downs, the trainer escorted Street Sense to the track for his morning exercise regimen. Never mind that barely 12 hours before, the Street Cry colt had rallied from 19th in the 20-horse field to win the 1¼-mile classic. Most Derby winners walk or have light exercise the day after their victories.

“I just think it’s good for him and keeps him healthy,” Nafzger said of the rare move of galloping a Derby winner the day after the race.

Other than answering a lot of questions and receiving congratulations from passersby, Sunday morning after the Derby was business as usual for Nafzger, who previously won the 1990 Derby with Unbridled. The 65-year-old Nafzger has two wins from three Derby starters, the third being Vicar, who was 18th in 1999
