The late Street Cry forever will be remembered as the sire of 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta, but he is also slowly developing a promising portfolio as a sire of sires. His best son, champion 2-year-old male and Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense, started slowly but has developed into a solid sire with 40 stakes winners, including six Grade 1 or Group 1 winners. Street Cry’s sprinting son Street Boss did not go to stud with the championship patina of Street Sense, but he is gradually making his own way as a sire of versatile runners in both hemispheres. Street Boss’s most recent stakes winner, juvenile Cathryn Sophia, who captured the Gin Talking Stakes on Dec. 5 at Laurel by 16 1/4 lengths, may well turn out to be one of his best.
