Trainer Mark Kavangh has an affinity with the Street Cry breed and it that was never more evident than on 11 June at Flemington when Kavangh trained a Street Cry double including the Stakes victory of three-year-old colt Liveandletdie.
One of the favoured runners in the large field, Damien Oliver had the colt settled just off the pace in the straight course event.
As the whips were cracking at the 200m mark, Liveandletdie ducked towards the inside of the track and held off the late challenge of Spurciffic to record a head victory with Lonhro gelding Seccession working home from well from back in the field for third in the Listed A.R. Creswick Stakes.
The trainer of Street Cry’s southern hemisphere G1 winners in Shocking and Whobegotyou, Kavanagh was also represented earlier in the day by three-year-old filly Midnight Martini who will now head to the spelling paddock after three consecutive, and impressive wins.
Bred by Think Big Stud, Liveandletdie is the second and final foal from the Great Commotion mare Janella, herself a full-sister to Italian Champion two-year-old colt Lend A Hand. From the family of Stakes winners Triple First, Three Tails, Sea Wave, Tamure, Maysoon and Dubawi Gold, Liveandletdie is another of the Street Cry breed that is raced by Laurence and Prue Eales.
Standing the forthcoming breeding season at Darley Kelvinside at $110,000 (inc GST), Street Cry covered a stellar book of mares last season including G1 winners Black Mamba, Bramble Rose, Elegant Fashion, Miss Finland, Mnemosyne, Piavonic, Private Steer, Regal Cheer, Rewaaya as well as the dams of G1 winners Niconero, Serenade Rose, Shamekha and Zarita.
