Street Sense strikes

First winner for the sensational Street Sense

The two-year-old colt Street Hunter made history yesterday, July 8, becoming Street Sense's first global winner when scoring emphatically by eight lengths in a six-furlong weight-for-age race in Kyoto, Japan. Bred by Northern Racing in Japan, Street Hunter improved off of his first career start, at Hanshin  Racecourse, in which he finished second.

Street Hunter is out of the Freud mare Quick Little Miss, a Stakes-winning juvenile who was also G1-placed in the Hollywood Starlet and Oak Leaf Stakes. Quick Little Miss is a half-sister to G1 winner Sky Diva.

Street Sense, the best son of the phenomenal Street Cry, was the leading first-crop sire by yearling average, with offspring selling up to $435,000, and continues to lead his sire crop by two-year-old sales average in 2011. Street Sense remains the only sire to ever complete the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile/Kentucky Derby double.
