01.05.08

Four runs this preparation for only one placing - a second in the G2 Autumn Classic at Caulfield on the 1st March. With Black type on his side, he has certainly proved that he has above average ability and also increased his value substantially. Feeling that he required a break after a disappointing 8th at Caulfield on 22nd Caulfield, Allanthus is now back in full work and we expect a first start at Caulfield on 10th May. We expect him to go on with the good form he displayed on the track last preparation.

01.02.2008

A few races on from the last update and Allanthus is now a force to be reckoned with. He has not been unplaced since his first start at Cranbourne and has also notched up two wins, the first over 1400m at Ballarat and the second over 1512m in Geelong. Michael Rodd rode Allanthus to both victories and expects him to improve further as Brian sends him over more ground. Look for him in town in the coming months.

01.11.2007

Allanthus' long-awaited first start was at Cranbourne in mid-October where, from the car park, he never had much chance over 1200m. Pushing up to 1400m at Terang at the end of the month, he ran a great race, looking the winner in the straight only to run second. However, it did prove that he has a motor and will only improve from here. Brian is likely to look for a bit more ground over his next couple of starts.

01.08.2007

Barrier practice and more barrier practice was the state of play throughout July as the track at Riverend Park remained largely under water. He is not too far away from jumpout stage now and we expect Brian to schedule him in at some stage in August.

01.07.2007

Arriving at Riverend Park late in June, Members who attended the Riverend Park Open Morning could not have failed to be impressed by the big, strapping chestnut. Looking very much a racehorse, he commenced light work with Brian immediately.

01.06.2007

An infection following his little operation preceded another trip to the hospital in May. However, all problems seem to be behind him now and we look forward to seeing him in the flesh at Riverend Park for the Open Morning on June 23.

01.05.2007

Allanthus was gelded in April - just another event that has set his trip to Melbourne back a few weeks. However, recovering well towards the end of the month, Dean is set to inspect him on May 15 and book the float to Melbourne - not a day too soon.

01.04.2007

Playing up for Brendan in March causing a small cut on his foot, it seems that anything that can go wrong does go wrong with this colt. However, they are all minor setbacks and we still expect to see him at Brian's stables at the end of April.

01.03.2007

Another abscess on his foot on February, putting his work back only slightly, was tempered with news that we have a name. Our Street Cry colt is - Allanthus - or `tree of heaven' (the Colt is from My Family Tree).

01.02.2007

Unfortunately the colt's late return to work in mid January meant that a transfer to Brian's stables in late January was simply not on the cards. In stead, he will work over the hills at Bethanga probably until late February when he will make the trip to Melbourne.

01.01.2007

Recommencing work in December, the bushfires in the Northeast then caused havoc as dense smoke became inescapable. As such, work did not progress as planned. At this stage, we hope the Colt will arrive at Brian Jenkins stables in late January.

01.12.2006

Returning to work in November, the Colt cut his leg after only a week's work. Although not too serious, this did hold him up somewhat and the idea that he would arrive in Melbourne in early January was put back. Inspecting the colt on Wodonga Cup Day, our Bloodstock Agent was blown away with the size of the colt. He has grown into an extremely athletic, powerful colt and Brendan is pleased with the way his leg is now healing.

01.11.2006

Completing his breaking-in in September, the colt spent the month of October in the paddock. We expect his to commence pre-training with Brendan at Bethanga Park at some point in November.

01.10.2006

Finishing his breaking in September, we hope to give him a short break in order to see him in Melbourne in late November.

01.09.2006

The Street Cry Colt is now nearing the end of his breaking, coping with everything that has been thrown at him with ease. There are now only a couple of shares remaining in our impressive colt who we hope will complete his first preparation by early Autumn 2007. 

Street Cry progeny continue to impress throughout Europe - let's hope our colt is also bred to succeed.

01.08.2006

It was decided toward the end of July that Brendan will start breaking the colt in at the beginning of August.

01.07.2006

After parading at Brian Jenkins' Open Day, the Street Cry Colt has returned to agistment property, Bethanga Park. We intend leaving him in the paddock for the duration of winter and then bring him into work in early Spring.
