Justhours after Elusive Quality's outstanding son Quality Road took the G1 Met Mile at Belmont, on the other side of the United States, Victor’s Cry, a five-year-old son of Darley stallion Street Cry took his first Stakes contest in exhilarating fashion at Hollywood Park when winning the G1 Shoemaker Mile.
Settled off the pace, jockey Corey Nakatani timed his run to perfection, moving up on the turn and flew down the stretch to catch previous G1 winner Karelian and take the $250,000 contest by a head.
Bred by Legacy Farm, Victor’s Cry is out of the G2-placed Clever Trick mare Short Time, herself a daughter of Chilean champion and multiple G1 winner Maria Fumata.
Street Cry has now sired eleven winners at the highest level, including unbeaten superstar Zenyatta. He has sired 14 individual Stakes perfomers so far in 2010.
