Champion sire Street Cry's wonderful daughter Winx is the reigning Australian Horse Of The Year, an honour that was also bestowed on six times Group One winner Typhoon Tracy for the season of 2009/2010.
Retiring to Bullarook Park Stud this spring is a horse who combines the superior genes of both Street Cry and Typhoon Tracy - the exciting Last Typhoon.
Sadly Typhoon Tracy, one of the best race mares of recent times, died foaling Last Typhoon and being her only foal he is a very special horse indeed.
Which is why his breeder John
Hutchins was keen to retain him to race despite the handsome bay attracting
keen bidding at the 2014 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, passed in for a hefty
$2.1 million.
Whilst not showing the class of his dam, Last Typhoon did show ability with two wins and three placings from just 11 starts but is his good looks and stellar pedigree that is the big attraction.
"The Street Cry influence is a big tick for me," said Bullarook 's Malcolm Boyd who is delighted with the way in which Last Typhoon is settling in at the Avenel property.
"He is a champion sire, proven in Australian conditions, who has three sons at stud in Victoria and this fellow is from a simply outstanding family."
Not only was Last Typhoon's dam Typhoon Tracy a high class race mare - the winner of the Coolmore Classic, the Myer Classic, consecutive runnings of the C.F Orr Stakes, the Queen Of The Turf Stakes and the Futurity Stakes - but she had, in the words of her trainer Peter Moody "an unbelievable pedigree."
The winner of $2.4 million who rarely run a bad race, winning 11 of her 20 starts with a further five placings to her credit, Typhoon Tracy is a daughter of the excellent stallion Red Ransom.
The sire of 109 stakes winners, Red Ransom is further excelling as a broodmare sire with his daughters to date producing 108 stakes winners.
Last Typhoon's sire Street Cry
has not had massive opportunities with Red Ransom mares but from just nine
runners the cross has produced eight winners.
And Street Cry's overall stats are exceptional - especially in this part of the world. Whilst his northern hemisphere strike rate of 64% is very good, his southern hemisphere record of 73.6% winners-to-runners is much better!
The sire of high class performers the world over. Street Cry boasts an 8.6% southern hemisphere stakes winner to runner strike rate and 8.1% in the northern hemisphere where his best includes the super star mare Zenyatta.
All up the sire of 110 stakes winners, Street Cry is a proven sire of sires with Per Incanto, Shocking, Street Boss and Street Sense all siring Australasian Group One winners.
Hailing from a family that has enjoyed elite level success around the world, Last Typhoon is a grandson of Tracy's Element, a four times Group One winner in South Africa.
A terrific broodmare represented by nine winners including Typhoon Tracy's dual stakes winning full brother Red Element, she is a daughter of Last Tycoon and the Gr.3 winning sprinter Princess Tracy.
One of the great broodmares of the 1990s, Princess Tracy produced four other stakes winners, the Stradbroke Handicap winning successful stallion Danasinga, the South African Gr.2 winner Topsannah and the Gr.3 gallopers Cullen and Towkay. And she is grandam of the Group One winners Fatal Attraction, Master Of Design and Suntagonal.
A particuarly handsome horse with "plenty of strength and quality," Last Typhoon makes his debut at a fee of $4400 (incl gst).
