Victor’s Cry, a five-year-old son of Darley stallion Street Cry notched up his fifth career win and first at G1 level in exhilarating fashion at Hollywood Park on Monday in the G1 Shoemaker Mile.
Timing his run to perfection, jockey Corey Nakatani guided the Eoin Harty-trained galloper from back in the field to take the race by a short head to give the globally successful Street Cry his 11th G1 winner worldwide.
Bred by Legacy Farm, Victor’s Cry is out of the Stakes-performed Clever Trick mare Short Time.
Street Cry has been enjoying a sensational season, not only through the deeds of the undefeated glamour mare Zenyatta in the USA, but with his southern hemisphere-bred G1 winning four-year-olds Whobegotyou and Shocking.
The Mark Kavanagh-trained Whobegotyou returned from a spell last Saturday, rattling home from the tail of the field to take second place in the G1 Doomben 10,000, promoting himself to the favourite for the G1 Stradbroke Handicap in two weeks time.
Street Cry will stand at Darley’s Kelvinside Stud in NSW for the forthcoming breeding season at a fee of $137,500 including GST. He will be joined at Kelvinside by his G1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and G1 Kentucky Derby winning son Street Sense, whose first Australian weanlings were in great demand at the Gold Coast last week, who will stand at a fee of $38,500 including GST.
