McPeek's Generous Tipper leads field for Street Sense on Sunday

Generous Tipper, the recent third-place finisher in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity, tops a field of eight 2-year-olds who were entered for Sunday’s 11th running of the $200,000 Street Sense Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs.

The 1 1/16-mile Street Sense Stakes is the featured event on opening day of the 21-day fall meet. The 11-race card, the first of Churchill's "stars of tomorrow" programs, will feature all 2-year-old racing. The Street Sense will go as Race 10 of 11 at 5:35 p.m. EDT.

The Street Sense is part of the road to the Kentucky Derby and will award the top five finishers points on a 10-5-3-2-1 scale. The Rags to Riches, for fillies earlier on the card, will award points to the top five finishers on the same scale for the road to the Kentucky Oaks (G1).

Generous Tipper, trained by Kenny McPeek, was a 7 1/2-length maiden special-weight winner on closing day of the Ellis Park meet in late August. The son of this race’s namesake, Street Sense, he finished third to Locked and The Wine Steward three weeks ago in the Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. will retain the mount from the rail.

The Street Sense field also includes eye-catching debut winner Parchment Party. Owned by Pin Oak Stud and trained by Bill Mott, Parchment Party rallied from 11 lengths off the early pace to win a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight on Sept. 15 at Churchill Downs. The son of Constitution once again will be ridden by James Graham from post 5.

Other Street Sense entrants include Iroquois (G3) third-place finisher Liberal Arts; Belmont at Aqueduct eight-length maiden winner Moonlight; and gutsy Churchill Downs maiden special-weight winner Informed Patriot.
