Chivalry and Hallowed Crown both record G3 victories

Having the first start of his three-year-old campaign, Street Cry colt Chivalry headed to Caulfield to start first up in the G3 H.D.F. McNeil Stakes over 1200m.

With form around some of the best juveniles of his two-year-old season, the Mark Kavanagh-trained colt settled second last in the field, with jockey Glen Boss allowing the colt to find his feet in the run.

The widest on the turn, Chivalry sprinted down the outside of the field to claim the lead in the shadow of the post, indicating he is well on target for the G1 Caulfield Guineas, a race won last season by fellow Street Cry three-year-old Long John.

Bred by Gerry Harvey’s Baramul Stud, Chivalry is out of the G3-winning, G1 placed Danehill mare World Peace, a daughter of the G2-wining Light Up The World.

Chivalry became the 77th Stakes winner for Street Cry who is the sire of 15 G1 winners including Darley stallions Street Sense and Street Boss, Zenyatta, Shocking and Whobegotyou.

20 minutes later Street Sense colt Hallowed Crown remained unbeaten when winning the G3 Run To The Rose in impressive fashion at Rosehill.

Charging down the centre of the track, Hallowed Crown defeated Lonhro colt Kuamon, who, like the winner was resuming from a break.

The lead up race to the $1 million G1 Golden Rose in two weeks’ time, the victory of the Bart and James Cummings-trained colt has elevated him to one of the favourites for that race.

Bred by Gooree Park Stud, Hallowed Crown is out of the G3-winning Danehill mare Crowned Glory, who was also a narrow runner-up in the G1 Golden Slipper of her year. A half-brother to G3 winner Needs Further, Hallowed Crown’s victory was his second successive G3 victory.

Hallowed Crown is one of 23 Stakes winners for Street Sense, which includes G1 performers Sweet Ransom, Aubby K, Unlimited Budget, Vionnet, Carnival Court and Miss Netta.
