New spearhead for Street Boss

Darley Victoria shuttler Street Boss (USA) signed off Moonee Valley’s Saturday meeting with a running double via Scarlet Billows and O’Malley.

Both gallopers are from his first crop which is spearheaded by Melbourne stakes winners Thiamandi and The Quarterback.

O’Malley (4g Street Boss – Pink Champagne by Carnegie) is also on the brink of black-type after coming from last for a first-up victory in the William Hill Handicap (1000m).  “He’s the best horse I’ve trained,” Enver Jusufovic said.  “A few riders have told me he’s a Group horse but I want him to go through the grades first.

“He’s got a terrific turn of foot off a hot tempo and that’s the sign of a very good horse.”

Sold by Eliza Park International for $25,000 at the 2012 Inglis Melbourne Autumn Sale, he has now won 4 times in 7 starts and earned $175,325 for owners Rob Patterson and Pat Littlejohn.  His dam is a daughter of NZ stakes winner Centennial (Centaine).

“He’s got a great temperament and is just a lovely horse,” Jusufovic explained.  “Physically he’s really developed and is a lot stronger and a lot more robust since coming back from spell.”

Street Boss (Street Cry) has three yearlings catalogued for the Melbourne Premier starting with a filly from G3 Swettenham Stud Stakes winner Apple Danish.  She has been entered by Phoenix Broodmare Farm (as agent) and is a half-sister to 6 winners.
