After a Stakes double last weekend with Shocking and Whobegotyou, Street Cry mare Street Value kept the stock of her internationally renowned sire in the news with a tough victory in the Listed Bunbury Cup, registering the 45th Stakes win for her sire.
Stepping up to a suitable trip on March 19, the Michael Grant-trained mare kept her consistent record intact, recording her sixth career win and in the process, took her earnings just shy of the $300,000 mark. Jumping from the inside barrier, the mare settled just behind the leaders and as the field headed for home she made her run, holding off the late charge of the runner up Double Barrel to take the race by a narrow, but decisive margin.
Bred by G & G Bloodstock Australia Pty Ltd, Street Value is the first foal of the five-time winning Marwina mare Marscara. The mare’s current weanling is by fellow Darley Stallion and current leading three-year-old sire Lonhro.
A thrilling source of some of the world’s most brilliant and memorable thoroughbreds highlighted by the sensational 2010 US horse of The Year in Zenyatta (recently announced as being in foal to Darley's very own Bernardini), Street Sense and Street Boss, Street Cry is a world-class sire with 12 individual G1 winners to his credit amongst 45 Stakes winners globally.
Street Cry covered the likes of G1 winners Miss Finland, Elegant Fashion, Mnemosyne, Black Mamba, Love To Dance, Piavonic, Private Steer and Rewaaya during his last southern hemisphere breeding season and Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy has already been booked in for the upcoming breeding season.
