Winx (Aus) or Zenyatta? One has 12 Grade/Group 1 victories, the other 13. Winx, the mare with 12, has a Timeform rating of 134, while Zenyatta is on a mark of 131. But how has their sire Street Cry (Ire) fared in each region of the globe? Many stallions express a distinct preference for either Northern Hemisphere racing or racing Down Under. Not so, Street Cry. His black-type winner-to-starters ratio from his Northern Hemisphere foals is 8.1%. And his Australian-foaled runners also feature an 8.1% black-type winners-to-runners strike rate. Even when we compare his very best from each region we get a similar story: the average Timeform rating of his best 10 American produce is 123.3. And you guessed it, his best 10 foaled Down Under score a remarkably similar 122.7.
