Xtra Heat Gives Birth To A Street Cry Colt

Superstar sprinter and future Hall of Famer Xtra Heat gave birth to a Street Cry colt on Tuesday, May 12, at Woodford Thoroughbreds—thanks to Laurie Asseo for passing on this information, and Matt Lyons for giving permission to reproduce this photo. What an attentive mother!

Last week it was also announced that her first-born Southwestern Heat (Gone West) will stand the 2009 season in Australia, at Willowbend Stud in Queensland, for A$4,400. As if I needed another reason to love Aussie horse racing!
