It only took four lots into the sale, but once the Distinct Racing and Breeding–consigned Street Sense filly entered the ring, it was all over.
Out of the seven-time winning Zabeel mare Jezabeel, the winner of not only the G1 Melbourne Cup, but the G1 Auckland Cup as well, the filly was knocked down to Bahen Bloodstock for A$200,000. With the price not bettered throughout the remainder of the session, the filly held the honour of the top-priced lot of the session.
Set to go to the Melbourne stable of leading trainer Mark Kavanagh, the filly is sure to be given every chance given that the trainer knows all too well about the progeny of Street Sense’s sire Street Cry through the deeds of G1 winners Whobegotyou and Melbourne Cup hero Shocking.
Street Sense has a further three yearlings to sell at the remaining days of the sale.
