Background

Streets Of Avalon was sired by Magnus, who won the Group 1 Galaxy. He was offered for sale at the Inglis yearling sales, however was withdrawn and retained by his breeder.

Racing career

Streets of Avalon first raced as a late autumn 2 year old, but didn’t win until his 7th start in a 3 year old maiden at Bairnsdale, Victoria.[2]

His first stakes victory came in the Listed Hareeba Stakes in 2019 at Mornington Racecourse.[3] Further stakes success followed in 2019 with the horse winning two Group 3 races, the Victoria Handicap and the Moonga Stakes.

In 2020, he led all the way to victory in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes at Caulfield Racecourse. On a day when the track was favouring horses up on the pace and near the rail, it played to his strengths, and after being backed from $26 into $9.50 he won by a long head margin.[4]

Streets of Avalon would not achieve victory in his next 9 starts throughout 2020. In 2021 he won the Group 2 Australia Stakes and the Group 1 C F Orr Stakes in succession.
