Street Cry may be on his way towards getting a remarkable yield from his horses at stud. Street Sense hasn't had the year it looked like he would have in the spring, but I remain extremely bullish about him. He's sort of been like a baseball team that has had the bases loaded every inning but hasn't scored a lot of runs. He's siring very talented horses, who have either gotten hurt or not come though yet. The jury is still out, but I think there's a lot there, and I think this would be a great time to buy a Street Sense.
Street Hero retired soon after he won the Norfolk as a maiden. Street Boss wasn't far from being Eclipse Award sprinter (favored in the BC Sprint), but he was never at the center of the American racing landscape the way Street Sense was. These two will have to do more of their own work than Street Sense to make it, but both are distinguishing themselves. To cite two Street Heros in particular, I like Del Mar maiden winner Gabriel Charles, and I like Churchill's June 3rd-place finisher, Anyriderill Do, although he doesn't seem to be in training right now, or at least working. The positive impression is mostly created in whole, though; it just seems the Street Heros can run. Street Boss has had a couple of showstoppers just within the last week, as Pletcher's Top Tier Lass aired on the turf at Saratoga last Monday, and Capo Bastone gave signs of being very good in a first-out score at Del Mar on Saturday.
What's intriguing is that Street Cry's 7th crop is only coming to the races right now. At least in North America, he doesn't have any right to be establishing a foothold as a sire of sires: I believe Street Sense, Street Boss, and Street Hero comprise his first opportunity. It's certainly too early with Street Boss and Street Hero to honestly say that the potential for Street Cry to be a rare sire of sires is apparent. But in my opinion, if as an investor in the breeding game, you don't use some imagination, you'll always be too late to the the dance.
