Red Knobs breaks his maiden at Ellis Park

Trainer Dale Romans' promising duo of Iroquois Stakes (G3) third Red Knobs  and impressive maiden winner Howling Time  top an ultra-competitive field of nine 2-year-olds for the $200,000 Street Sense Stakes Oct. 31 at Churchill Downs.

Sunday's 17th annual "Stars of Tomorrow I" program, which features all 2-year-old races, kicks off the 21-day fall meet. The 1 1/16-mile Street Sense shares the Sunday spotlight with the $200,000 Rags to Riches, which will also be run at 1 1/16 miles for 2-year-old fillies. The Street Sense was carded as Race 10 at 5:36 p.m. ET, while the Rags to Riches will go as Race 5 at 3:03 p.m.

Albaugh Family Stables' Howling Time, a 2-year-old son of Not This Time  , broke his maiden Sept. 25 at Churchill by 1 1/2 lengths in a six-furlong maiden special weight. The $200,000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase stopped the teletimer in 1:10.15. Howling Time will be ridden by Joe Talamo from post 6.  

Meanwhile, his stablemate, Jim Bakke and Gerald Isbister's Red Knobs, was only defeated by one length in the Iroquois by Major General  and Tough to Tame . The chestnut son of Union Rags   broke his maiden this summer at Ellis Park by an impressive 6 1/4 lengths. He'll be ridden by James Graham from post 9.

Among the other top contenders in the Street Sense field are Silverton Hill's Kentucky Downs Global Tote Juvenile Sprint Stakes winner Red Danger ; Paradise Farms, Skychai Racing, and David Staudacher's Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile runner-up Kiss the Sky ; Lucky Seven Stable's Runhappy Ellis Park Juvenile runner-up Lucky Boss ; and Daniel Alonso's 10 1/2-length maiden winner Skippylongstocking .
