American-bred Street Cry mare Northern Station gained her first black type with a hard-fought win in the Listed Nellie Morse Stakes at Laurel Park on Saturday. Bred by Chip Montgomery and Patrick Davis in partnership with Darley, she is out of a daughter of Street Cry’s US barn mate Quiet American, named Quiet Word.
Street Cry is, of course, best known in Australia for his Melbourne Cup winner Shocking but in America he has Zenyatta and fans of the unbeaten Eclipse Award winner received a boost this week with the news that the great mare, winner of eight Grade One races, including the Breeders’ Cup Classic, would remain in training as a six-year-old.
At Trentham in New Zealand, the progressive Cellarmaster, a first-crop son of Dubawi who has already won at Listed and Group Three level this season, continued his highly successful juvenile campaign by finishing runner-up in the G2 Wakefield Chellenge Stakes. Judge Clapham’s homebred was beaten just a long-neck by Jimmy Choux, whom he had beaten in the Listed Star Way 1000 at Te Rapa in December.
