Kentucky Derby BRIS Speed Rating Report: Sham Stakes
The Street Sense colt is now unbeaten from three starts for Bob Baffert, including the December 9 Los Alamitos Futurity (G1) via disqualification. And he’s run fast every time, generating a 100 BRIS Speed rating for a romping debut score over maiden special weight foes in late October and the same figure in the Los Alamitos Futurity.
Hall of Famer Mike “Big Money” Smith has been up for all three starts.
Baffert removed blinkers for the one-mile Sham and McKinzie settled nicely behind the early leaders before making his move nearing the completion of the far turn. He had drawn clear by midstretch and was under wraps late.
With the 10-point prize, the dark bay increased his total to 20 and McKinzie is now tied for second on the Road to the Kentucky Derby leaderboard with Jerome winner Firenze Fire.
