Bred by Go Bloodstock, who featured earlier in the day when purchasing the $1million I Am Invincible colt from Silently in conjunction with Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, the colt is a half-brother to stakes-winning Frankel mare Frankely Awesome, who was also twice Group I placed.

He is the fourth foal of royally bred stakes-winning Street Cry mare Street Secret, who was brought to Australia by Cressfield.

She traces back to the family of blue hen and Arc winner Urban Sea, the dam of champion sires Galileo and Sea the Stars, so this colt has a stallion’s pedigree that is rivalled by few.

Cressfield on-sold Street Secret at the 2017 Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $680,000 with Paul Moroney picking her up for Go Bloodstock.

She had a Lonhro filly last year and was then covered by Russian Revolution.
