Less
than a week after Darley favourite Street Cry (IRE) was euthanized, he featured
with a new stakes-winner when Fairway Thoroughbreds homebred Quayside saluted
in the Listed SAJC Penang Trophy at Morphettville.
A runaway winner at Sandown when resuming from a spell at the start of the
month, the Peter Moody trained Quayside took her good form to Adelaide,
charging home to win the 1800 metre feature by half a length.
Fourth in the Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks last season at three, Quayside has
always shown stakes potential and connections will be delighted to see her now a
stakes-winner.
Passed in at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and retained to race by
her breeder John Camilleri of Fairway Thoroughbreds, Quayside has won four races
and placed three times from 15 starts earning nearly $200,000 in prizemoney.
A half-sister to Group II placed I Think I Do and this season's stakes-placed
three year-old Betsy, Quayside is one of five winners from Group II VRC Wakeful
Stakes winner Quays, a daughter of Group I AJC Flight Stakes winner Pontal
Lass.
Sadly Quays died in 2012, but in Quayside Fairway Thoroughbreds will have a
lovely broodmare to go on with.
Quayside is the 79th stakes-winner for Street Cry, who will be sadly
missed.
