Pedigree notes
G1 Statistics
Street Boss has sired four of his ten G1 winners out of mares by Australia’s leading broodmare sires Encosta de Lago, Exceed And Excel, Redoute’s Choice and Snitzel. All his G1 winners are out of mares by different broodmare sires, indicating his versatility and all have a return of Mr. Prospector and/or Northern Dancer in the mare.
Best nicks
His best percentages of Stakes winners to runners are from mares by Danehill Dancer, Encosta de Lago, Exceed And Excel, Fastnet Rock, Lonhro, Snitzel, Testa Rossa and all of which can easily be found in Australia. Mares by Exceed And Excel or with him in the pedigree is the best nick for Street Boss. Mares by other sons of Danehill such as Redoute’s Choice, Fastnet Rock or Danehill Dancer and his son Choisir would be another worthwhile part of this strategy. Street Boss and his sire Street Cry have had considerable success with returns of Zabeel and Seattle Slew in the mare. Sources of Zabeel are readily available via Lonhro and sons. Seattle Slew is harder to find but includes Better Than Ready, Rebel Dane, Super One and Justify.
Inbreeding / Linebreeding options
The most obvious candidate for inbreeding to Street Boss is the mare Helen Street, dam of his sire Street Cry. Results of this include multiple G1 winner Victor Ludorum, G2 winner and G1-placed Lucida, G3 winner Shocking Luck, Listed winner and G1-placed Royal Champion, G1 Victoria Derby runner-up Southern Moon, the Listed winner Spirit Of Gaylard. This pattern is worth repeating, and it can be achieved using mares by Shamardal or his sons, such as Lope de Vega, Puissance de Lune, Gingerbread Man and Crackerjack King.
