Discourse, a highly promising daughter of Street Cry, landed the Group Three Sweet Solera Stakes by four-and-a-half lengths on just her second racecourse appearance.
The two-year-old made her debut on the 24th June, beating her stablemate, the subsequent G2 Cherry Hinton Stakes-winning Bernardini filly Gamilati, by a short-head at Newmarket.
A Darley homebred, Discourse is bred on the same cross as Kentucky Derby winner and Darley first-season sire Street Sense, being out of the Dixieland Band mare Divine Dixie. Her dam is a half-sister to Stormy Atlantic and has already produced the Grade One winner Bandini.
Discourse has been given quotes of 12/1 for next year’s 1,000 Guineas.
Half an hour later, the royal blue silks of Godolphin were again carried to victory by a Street Cry filly on Newmarket’s July Course when the debutante Minidress took out the 1400m maiden, defeating Authorized first-starter Everlong.
The homebred filly is the first foal of Musidora Stakes winner Short Skirt, whose half-sister Whitewater Affair is a dual Group-winning daughter of Street Cry’s sire Machiavellian.
The sire of 50 international Stakes winners, Street Cry will stand the forthcoming breeding season at Darley Kelvinside at a fee of $110,000 (inc GST), where he already has many star mares booked into him after covering an excellent book of mares last season which included 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.
