As the second day of selling concluded at the 2011 Inglis Easter yearling sale in Australia, Street Cry’s best son Street Sense continued to record positive results, achieving an average of $316,429, higher than any stallion with three or more to sell except for Redoute’s Choice.
With three individual lots selling during the second day, the highlight was the Widden Stud-consigned hip 341. A three-quarter brother to G1 Melbourne Cup and Dubai Australian Cup winner Shocking (by Street Cry), this colt was knocked down to the trainer of Shocking, Mark Kavanagh for $450,000.
Earlier in the day Tim Martin Bloodstock purchased two yearlings by Street Sense, signing for hip 241, a filly out of the G1 winner Fine Society for $80,000 and also hip 244, the second foal of the multiple G1-performing Danehill mare Flora Danica for $350,000.
Fellow Darley first-season sire Bernardini (pictured) was also making his presence felt, with the Willow Park-consigned hip 225 realizing $440,000 to UK-based J. Warren. Out of the Royal Academy mare Dora Maar, this filly is a half-brother Stakes winner Mrs Kipling, by Darley stallion Exceed And Excel, and comes from the famed Twiglet family of G1 winners Fairy King Prawn and Easy Rocking.
