Typhoon Tracy to visit Street Cry in 2011

Following the announcement that six-time G1-winning Red Ransom mare Typhoon Tracy has been retired from racing, it was confirmed today that the outstanding Horse of the Year will be covered by Darley stallion Street Cry in 2011.

Sire of the sensational 2010 US horse of The Year in Zenyatta, plus local G1 winners Shocking and Whobegotyou, Street Cry (pictured) is a world-class sire with 12 individual G1 winners to his credit amongst 44 Stakes winners globally.

Bred and owned by John and Fu-Mei Hutchinson, Typhoon Tracy recorded 11 wins, nine of which were at Stakes level and in excess of $2.4 million in prizemoney. A last start winner of the G1 C.F. Orr Stakes, a race she also won last year, Typhoon Tracy was crowned the 2010 Horse of the Year.

The Hutchinson’s Bloodstock manger Neil Jenkinson said, “John and Fu-Mei have their own ideas on what they want to do and choosing a mate for a mare as good as this is not something you take lightly.”

“Street Cry is a sire capable of getting that seriously good G1 horse which is what they aspire to breed.”

From the same family of Darley’s first-season sire Shaft, Typhoon Tracy is one of many high-class mares sure to be booked into the son of Machiavellian during his next breeding season in Australia.

Darley Australia’s Nominations manger Alastair Pulford said, “We are of course absolutely thrilled that John and Fu-Mei Hutchins have chosen Street Cry as the stallion for Typhoon Tracy's first foal. It further ratifies his position as the world's leading shuttle stallion and one of the most important stallions in the world. He is a great mating for the mare, and the foal will be bred on similar lines to the great Zenyatta who is also from a Roberto line mare.”

“We look forward to seeing her here in September.”

Like his history-making G1-winning son Street Sense, Street Cry will stand the upcoming southern hemisphere season at Darley’s Kelvinside property in the Hunter Valley.
