Street Cry Colt to the Head of the Class at FTSAUG

When first offered at public auction, a colt by the late Street Cry (Ire) out of Rcuandry, by A.P. Indy was led out unsold on a bid of $285,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton November sale. It was a case of second-time lucky Tuesday evening, as the athletic-looking dark bay, catalogued as hip 168 was hammered down for a session-leading bid of $1.4 million from Sheikh Mohammed’s bloodstock advisor John Ferguson. The Feb. 12 foal, bred by Ann McBrayer’s Keene Ridge Racing on a foal share with Darley, is out of a winning half-sister to the talented turf mare Honey Ryder (Lasting Approval), a Grade I winner of better than $2.7 million. It was the ninith and easily most expensive of the 2015 Saratoga sale for Ferguson and second by this former Darley inmate.
