Whobegotyou in line for Classics
Street Cry was rated the World’s best racehorse at one stage but he was adjudged to be a failure at stud in Australia and did not return after 2006.
However, that ‘sacking’ may have been premature, as he is now the sire of two of Australia’s most promising three-year-olds.
Predatory Pricer is already favourite for next week’s G1 Spring Champion Stakes and on Friday night at Moonee Valley, his other top class son Whobegotyou stamped himself as a Caulfield Guineas and VRC Derby aspirant.
Whobegotyou had been unlucky in two runs this campaign, but Micheal Rodd left nothing to chance last night, making his run wide on the course before joining in on the home turn and romping away to win by nearly four lengths.
On breeding, Whobegotyou is expected to get much further and he will now try and emulate another Stutt winner in Helenus, who won this race before taking the Guineas and Derby in 2002.
It was a welcome change of luck for trainer Mark Kavanagh, who has had feature race placings with Maldivian and Devil Moon this season.
This gelding however, may well be the horse to put him back in the spring carnival headlines – although he won’t feature in Melbourne Cup Betting.
While Street Cry is no longer shuttling to Australia, his place on the Darley roster is this year taken by his Kentucky Derby winning son Street Sense.
