Street Sense, who remains the only horse to ever win both the Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile and the Kentucky Derby, will be repatriated to stand at Darley’s
Lexington, Kentucky, establishment in 2014. The nine-year-old son of Street Cry
had stood at Darley in Japan in 2013.
“Street Sense received tremendous support from top breeders during his first
five seasons here in America and also last year in Japan,” Charlie Boden,
Darley’s head of sales in America, commented.
“His progeny on the track, as we had hoped, have had a wonderful year and his
nine 2013 stakes winners including Grade 1 winners Aubby K and Sweet Reason,
will ensure he will cover a quality book of mares next season.”
Street Sense is currently North America’s leading third-crop sire by progeny
earnings with more than $4.3 million, a figure contributed to by performers such
as the aforementioned Spinaway S. (G1) winner Sweet Reason and Humana Distaff
(G1)winner Aubby K. Among third-crop sires, his number of 2013 stakes winners is
second only to fellow Darley stallion Discreet Cat and he shares top honors with
him by number of stakes wins.
Street Sense has quickly positioned himself as the leading son of fellow
Darley stallion Street Cry at stud, who is now himself emerging as an important
sire of sires. Two other Street Cry stallions have had notable success of late
— Street Boss has sired 2013 King’s Bishop (G1) victor Capo Bastone, and Street
Hero was recently represented by Gabriel Charles, the winner of the first
division of the Del Mar Derby (G2).
“As Street Cry fast approaches hitting the ‘century mark’ in number of stakes
winners,” Boden further stated, “his best son will be welcomed back with open
arms by the breeding public and all of us here at Jonabell.”
Street Sense’s 2014 fee will be set at a later date. For further information,
