Soul Driver takes the Oceanside
Three-year-old Street Boss colt Soul Driver captured his second Stakes win in a row on July 16th with an exciting come-from-behind victory in the Oceanside Stakes on opening day at Del Mar.
In the one-mile turf stakes, Soul Driver broke slowly and was at the back of the pack early before beginning to pass horses down the backstretch. He made an impressive three-wide move around the turn and was able to run down front-runner Forest Blue in the stretch to win by a nose under jockey Mike Smith.
Bred in Kentucky by John R. Penn, Soul Driver is out of a half-sister to G1 winner Victor’s Cry, a son of former Darley stallion Street Cry, the sire of Street Boss.
The sire of G1 winners Danza and Capo Bastone, Street Boss has four black-type winners in 2015, including G3 El Camino Real Derby winner Metaboss. He already has six two-year-old winners this year, more than any other Kentucky stallion, and is currently third on the 2015 Juvenile sire list.
