Henderson, Ky. – Midway Racing, LLCs Street animal Proven best in the 14th running of the $ 1,000,000 Global Tote Juvenile Mile (mentioned) for 2-year-olds in Kentucky Downs on Sunday.
Trained by Ben Colebrook and driven by Luan Machado Street Beast got away well and then handed the lead to steal the stem of the pacesetter. He raced two to three wide and willing to wipe past the three-six-friendly. He clearly moved under insistence and was taken late, once safe ahead for a seven length victory.
Great connection exchanged incidental contact person in the beginning. He was ahead positioned in the back inside the inside near the rail and then came a bit away from the three sixties, but stayed up to stand up for space. Baytown Dreamer was encouraged from the start and soon made the lead to dictate conditions with an opening quarter of 22.88. He extended the advantage that it went well in turn and began to shorten, but was overtaken in the upper part. He held in front of the show while he was closed for place.
Swamp King, JJ Gray, Thunder Zeus, Cibrio, Chalky White and Duke of Suggins complete the order of finish.
Knoty Knicks was scratched.
The last time was 1: 33.72 for the peat competition of a mile.
Street Beast paid $ 4.08 (2.88, 2.40) with great connection that gave a tidy $ 7.74 (4.32) for space and Baytown Dreamer pays $ 5.66 for the show

QUOTES:
Win Jockey Luan Machado: “He is a nice horse. The last time he showed that he can sit immediately. But he is very quickly out of the gate, so that helps me to get to a comfortable place. He traveled very comfortably the whole road.
“The last time he was a bit aggressive. But this time he was much more professional. He didn’t fight me. He was always there for me. When they came to me a bit, he was all for me.”
Winning trainer Ben Colebrook after winning his first $ 1 million race: “He was a bit aggressive early in his training. So we walked him for the first time to get a race in him, always thinking that we would stretch it here. He showed so much speed, I thought we had him 6 1/2. We started thinking of girl races.
“I still had a mare that I introduced four times and she still didn’t come in. So I said,” Let’s just run if we can. ” So we walked in the Keeneland race (for horses at the year -old September September), and that worked.
(Fact that Tiztastic Swept Keeneland – Race – even if a girl – and Jeugdmile had his decision last year?) “I remembered that until someone else was honest. To be honest, what gave me confidence was the way he was a big question with a big question (the wallet of the winner) to try it.
“I think if a horses are doing well, the ‘bounce’ is a bit overestimated if you walk back for two weeks. If a horse is doing well, I think you have a time zone where they continue to do well. After three or four weeks that can sometimes be the time frame. I have had good luck, but very limited start.
“I think the Breeders’ Cup, the way he ran today, you have to think about it. I was excited to let him walk a little longer. And he really made me excited to see him today. Because he did it so easily. As soon as he asked him, he exploded.
“In a strange way he has been more aggressive in his gallops, but more relaxed around the barn. He was the opposite a little earlier. He sometimes didn’t really hold the bit in his gallops and he would be gone. But there was no Goof off. He is behind it.”
