Street Cry Stars In Full Flight
Tuesday, 7 September 2010:  | | Shocking |
Here Comes Ben joins an illustrious list of stand-out winners by Street Cry, including Shocking, Caulfield Guineas winner Whobegotyou, Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense and the top sprinter Street Boss.
Winner of the Listed Kelly's Landing Stakes in June, Here Comes Ben is out of the Dayjur mare Chasetheragingwind.
At Flemington the highlight was the triumph of Shocking in the G2 Makybe Diva Stakes.
The 2009 Melbourne Cup winner remained unbeaten in four runs at Flemington when he charged to the line to win his third Group race.
In the UK Brevity, a lightly-raced daughter of Street Cry, ran on strongly to record her first stakes win in the Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes.
Making just her third racecourse appearance, the filly recorded her second victory having landed a maiden in impressive style at Britain's newest racecourse Ffos Las on August 10.
She became the 41st stakes winner worldwide for Street Cry.
Brevity was foaled in the US, as was her winning Elusive Quality half-sister Special Quality. Her dam Cut Short is a full-sister to the dual G2-winning juvenile and sire Daggers Drawn.
Finishing third in the race was Exceed And Excel's daughter Margot Did, who won her first two starts before finishing runner-up on three occasions at Group level including the G2 Lowther Stakes at York's Ebor meeting in August.
