Street Cry Legacy Continues at Larneuk

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 23
Sadly for Australian breeders, the mighty stallion Street Cry (IRE) is no longer with us, but we do have the legacy of his exceptional daughter Winx and a number of his sire sons including blue-blooded Wolf Cry, who makes his debut at Larneuk Stud this spring.

"He ticks all the boxes," said Neville Murdoch of Larneuk Stud.

"He is a magnificent type who is bound to impress all who see him, he has a great pedigree from a family well known to Victorian breeders and he had plenty of natural ability."

Wolf Cry was a $320,000 Magic Millions yearlingCatching James Bester's eye at the 2014 Magic Millions where he was secured for $320,000 (the fifth highest priced Street Cry colt that year), Wolf Cry headed to the stables of Peter and Paul Snowden.

Showing precocity at two, Wolf Cry contested the first two year-old stakes race for the season, the Listed ATC Breeders Plate at Randwick in early October.

He finished a pleasing third behind the subsequent Golden Slipper winner Vancouver and was immediately sent to the paddock.

Next seen in mid-February, Wolf Cry was straight back into strong company in the Listed ATC Lonhro Stakes at Randwick. He sat wide but was a game third, less than a length from the winner and on the strength of that run he was sent out second favourite in the Group II ATC Skyline Stakes, where he finished a luckless third to future Group I winner Exosphere.

Wolf CryReturning as a three year-old, he was a short priced favourite in Australia's richest maiden – the 1200m contest at the Gold Coast on Magic Millions Day.

Despite getting a bit stirred up pre-race having cast a shoe at the gates, Wolf Cry was able to dash clear from the 150m, proving a class above his rivals with his soft three length victory... recording a faster time than that of Capitalist winning the Magic Millions 2Y0 Classic later that day.

"It's not ideal to be replated behind the gates because he is a colt and he is very full of himself," Peter Snowden said, "but the result was great and it was good to see him win as well as he did. The form was there to say that he had good ability and he's come back really well."

Jockey Blake Shinn was impressed - "he had a bit on them. He is going to get a mile and win much better races."

Street CryWolf Cry's pedigree is one of great appeal. His sire Street Cry has been an international sensation represented by 100 plus stakes winners, 20 of whom are Group I winners including Winx, Zenyatta, Whobegotyou and Pride Of Dubai.

Already his sons are proving their worth at stud, Per Incanto, Shocking, Street Boss and Street Sense all siring Group I winners.

Bred on the same highly successful Street Cry/Danehill cross as the big race winners Shocking, Pride Of Dubai, Hallowed Crown, Stay With Me and Politeness, Wolf Cry is out of Starfish, a regally bred daughter of champion stallion Redoute's Choice.

Starfish is a daughter of the Group I sprinting mare Stella Cadente, dam of three black type performers including the juvenile stakes winner Brilliant Bisc, who produced a $1million yearling colt at Inglis Easter this year sired by Written Tycoon.

This is one of Australia's favourite families, one that has also produced the Golden Slipper heroine Bint Marscay, the Epsom Handicap/Caulfield Stakes winner Filante, the Coolmore Classic winner Bollinger, the VRC Derby winner Benicio and the Australian Guineas winner Kenny's Best Pal.

Wolf Cry's pedigree page is one full of black type, his other relations including the stakes winners Eau D'Scay, Sheraton, Always Allison, Romneya, Friesan Fire and At The Oasis.

Wolf Cry makes his stud debut at a fee of $4400 (incl gst) with Neville Murdoch confident that he will be of great appeal to broodmare owners.

"He has early form which makes him in an outstanding VOBIS prospect and his progeny will certainly be strong contenders for the lucrative money on offer in the VOBIS Sires two and three-year-old races."

"He is such a sensational type that he is bound to upgrade his mares."
