From STREET HERO (by STREET CRY) out of REDOUTE'S CHOICE mare LES ROSES - this lightly raced 4YO filly has unfortunately suffered from a nagging injury in her near fore limb (x-rays available). Whilst showing good signs of being able to stay the injury has not enabled her to prove it on the track and accordingly we now offer her for sale as a broodmare for the 2014 breeding season. The injury will not impede her breeding career.

A breeding certificate is available.

The filly is beautifully bred on similar lines to a STREET CRY – DANEHILL cross which has produced several stakes winners in Australia and overseas, notably:

• Shocking (2005) multiple G1 winner of $4,981,275
• Tallow (2006) G3 winner of $365,530
• SplashPoint (2008) G3 winner in UK and Dubai of US $200,234+
• Falls of Lora (2009) G3 winner at Ascot UK and of US $198,673+

In terms of confirmation, the filly is a correct type with great scope, average bone, good in front, good hip, good hind leg, straight through the shoulder, and back of the knee and is upright through the pasterns with relatively small feet. She stands about 15.3 hands and weighed in recently at 490 kgs.

The stallion STREET HERO was a powerfully built, strong individual standing at 16.1 hands. With an outstanding head, intelligent eye, accompanied by good scope and a long rein, Street Hero had all the key traits to pass on to his progeny. This loose walking stallion with a strong shoulder and forearm had excellent acceleration typical of the Street Cry breed. Street Hero is by the same sire as Australian Champion 3YO Whobegotyou, Breeders’ Cup winner Zenyatta and Melbourne Cup winner Shocking, all Group performers. His 1st Dam Squall Linda a Gr 3 mare is by Summer Squall whose first and second dams are both champion broodmares and his 2nd Dam is a half sister to the dam of Australian Champion filly November Rain.
