Streets ahead

Fleet Street has been a magnificent campaigner in Japan for his sire Street Sense, and on 13 July he recorded his fifth career victory when landing the Adatara Stakes at Fukushima Racecourse.

Winning the 1700m contest in impressive style and by a length and a quarter, he recorded his second win this year and is now likely to step up in class in order to add further Black type to his record, following his victory in the Listed Hyacinth Stakes last year.

Owned and bred by Darley, Fleet Street is out of the winning Singspiel mare Jenny Lind, a full-sister to G3 winner Songlark and a half-sister to Shawaani – dam of this G1 English 1,000 Guineas and G1 Coronation Stakes winner Sky Lantern. Jenny Lind has been scanned in foal to Street Sense again this year.

Street Sense, who stood at Darley in Japan for the first time this year, is sire of ten individual Stakes winners and a further 13 Stakes performers, headed by G1 winner Aubby K and G1 Kentucky Oaks third Unlimited Budget.

Street Sense was the first horse ever to win both the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Kentucky Derby. He also won the G1 Travers Stakes as a three-year-old.
