Emirates Queen crowned in G2 Lancashire Oaks
Emirates Queen, a daughter of potent sire Street Cry, landed the G2 Lancashire Oaks over the Haydock Park turf course July 6. The lightly raced filly came on strong in the final strides of the 2400m race to take the victory and earn her first Group score.
Out of G1 Oaks d'Italia winner and Champion Zomaradah, Emirates Queen is a half-sister to fantastic Darley sire and G1 winner Dubawi, as well as Stakes winner Princess Nada. The four-year-old was bred by Darley.
With her victory, Emirates Queen becomes the 40th Graded or Group winner for her sire Street Cry, who has 13 G1 winners to his credit around the globe. His top representatives are Horse Of The Year Zenyatta, G1 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense, G1 Melbourne Cup winner Shocking, G1 Caulfield Guineas winner Whobegotyou and G1 winner and record-breaking sprinter Street Boss.
Street Cry will stand the coming breeding season at Kelvinside at a fee of $110,000 inc. GST.
