It was Street Game, a three-year-old son of Street Cry, who drove home to victory in the G3 Hill Prince Stakes at Belmont Park June 18. Competing in his Stakes debut, Street Game became Graded/Group winner 32 for international sire Street Cry.
Street Game drew plenty of attention when breaking his maiden at the beginning of May over the Belmont Park turf course by over ten lengths. He followed up with a Belmont Allowance win just two weeks later. Snatching a third win in a row, Street Game went wire-to-wire and opened up in the stretch to win by seven lengths.
Bred in New York by Nustar Breeding LLC, Street Game is out of the Thunder Puddles mare Thunder Achiever, winner of the G2 First Flight Handicap at Aqueduct. The mare is a half-sister to Stakes winner Anthenian Thunder and Stakes-placed runners Foxy Scarlet and Thunderkin.
Street Cry's record at stud has certainly impressed, as the sire of the thrilling Horse of the Year Zenyatta, who was bred to Darley's own Bernardini in 2011. Also among his winners at the highest level are G1 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense and multiple G1 winner and record-setter Street Boss, both standing at Darley. Street Cry stands for a fee of $150,000 Stands and Nurses.
