Street Prancer goes North for first Stakes win
Having sold as $360,000 as a two-year-old in 2013, expectations were more than average for this good looking son of Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense. Although he was unable to start as a juvenile last year, Street Prancer has done his best running of late, exemplified by his nice victory in the Manitoba Derby on August 4th.
In the 66th running of the "Derby", Street Prancer was allowed to bide his time mid pack until the field left the turn from the backstretch. At the top of the lane, the bay sophomore surged to the lead and held a distinct advantage at the wire while notching his first career added-money win.
Bred by Hidden Brook Farm, Jonathan Mills and Darley, Street Prancer is a half-brother to Stakes winner and G3-placed Shopton Lane and Stakes-placed Light Up The Lane. Street Prancer is out of Lightfoot Lane, a half-sister to G2 winner Skipshot and G3 winner Skip Code.
Street Sense is the sire of six career G1 performers, including the gifted three-year-old filly Sweet Reason, winner of the G1 Test and Acorn Stakes in 2014 as well as the G1 Spinaway in 2013. He is the sire ofa total of 11 Graded Stakes winners, including G1 Humana Distaff winner Aubby K and multiple Graded Stakes winner and G1-placed Unlimited Budget. A talented son of Street Cry, Street Sense remains the only horse to ever win both the G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile and G1 Kentucky Derby.
