Stud record
In America, Street Cry stood at Darley's Jonabell Farm in Lexington, Kentucky for $150,000.[2] After a two-year break, Street Cry returned in 2009 for a fifth season at Darley Stud, Kelvinside, in the Hunter Region where he stood at a fee of A$110,000.[3] During those five seasons in Australia, he covered 425 mares to produce 319 foals.
Darley's Chief Operating Officer, Oliver Tait, says that Street Cry produced "easy horses to train" that are "tough, willing, and genuine." Physically, his offspring have succeeded on "all distances and all surfaces" and "show incredible acceleration" so that they are "incredibly effective in the last quarter-mile of the race."[4]
He was euthanized in Australia on September 17, 2014 as a result of complications of a neurological condition.
At the time of his death, he had sired 7 grade I winners in the Northern Hemisphere, including 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta; Street Sense, who won the 2007 Kentucky Derby; and grade I-winning sprinter Street Boss.[5] who won the Grade I: Triple Bend Invitational Handicap and Bing Crosby Handicap Other notable progeny included Group I winner Majestic Roi, winner of the Sun Chariot Stakes (G1) in England; Caulfield Guineas winners in Long John in 2013 and Whobegotyou; Shocking, winner of the 2009 Melbourne Cup;[6] Street Hero, winner of Norfolk Stakes, Tomcito who raced as a two-year-old in Peru winning two important G1 races against older horses; and Winx, winner of the 2015 G1 Cox Plate, 2015 G1 Epsom Handicap and the 2016 G1 Chipping Norton Stakes.
