On a day when the Street Cry bloodline was again to the fore across Australasian black type racing, NZB Kiwi equal favourite Evaporate (Per Incanto – Savanah by Animal Kingdom) produced an outstanding dress rehearsal when he resumed with a strong finishing 3rd placing in the 1400m Group 2 Autumn Stakes at Caulfield, on a card which also saw another stakes placing for the Per Incanto mare Marble Arch.
In-form trainers Ben, Will and JD Hayes will be confidently eyeing up another successful Kiwi raid after their charge Evaporate overcame a chequered home straight run to finish a fine 3rd. The LA bred and part owned gelding will either trial or have another preparatory race in Melbourne before he boards the plane later this month for a tilt at Kiwi racings biggest ever prize at Ellerslie on March 8.
The Goodwood stud bred Marble Arch narrowly missed adding a well-deserved stakes win to her already impressive resume when finishing strongly for 2nd in the 1600m Group 3 JRA Plate. Marble Arch’s record now stands at 8 wins and 5 minor placings from 21 starts for over $600,000 Australian in stake earnings.
All three Group 1 races in Australasia on Saturday went to grandsons of Street Cry with Street Boss siring Another Wil, the winner of the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield, and Shocking’s sons Here To Shock and El Vencedor landing the Group 1 features at Te Rapa.
LA are excited to launch the stallion career of the Group 1 Blue Diamond stakeswinner Little Brose in 2025. The great-grandson of Street Cry looks set to continue the powerful legacy of the sire line through his outstanding stallion son Per Incanto.
Little Brose will stand for a fee of $15,000 plus GST in 2025.
