Purchased on behalf of South African based Drakenstein Stud, Sharp Susan has
been at stud in Australia since then, but her offspring have been sent to South
Africa and include three year-old Street Cry (IRE) filly Oh Susanna, who beat
the older mares at Kenilworth on Saturday to win the Group I Cartier Paddock Stakes.Trained by Justin Snaith, Oh Susanna was a winner at two and finished second in the Group I Cape Fillies Guineas at her previous start.
She proved far too good in this 1800 metre assignment, powering clear at the finish to win by a length and a half taking her overall record to two wins and three placings from seven starts.
Foaled and raised at Coolmore, before being sent to South Africa as a yearling, she is the third winner for Sharp Susan, whose first foal Indiano Jones was Group II placed in the US and whose second, Biblical Susan, is a winner in South Africa.
The current two year-old from Sharp Susan, a colt by Exceed and Excel, was sold at Inglis Easter last year for $300,000 to Snowden Racing and was consigned by Coolmore.
Sharp Susan produced a filly by Fastnet Rock in 2016 and was subsequently sent to the Northern Hemisphere.
Oh Susanna has the honour of becoming the 20th Group I winner for Darley's much missed Street Cry, the sire of our Australian Horse of the Year Winx.
