The Street Fighter Relocates to Rancho San Miguel

The Street Fighter, a stakes performer by multiple grade 1 winner Street Boss, has relocated to Rancho San Miguel in California for the 2025 breeding season. The 10-year-old stallion will stand for a fee of $2,500, with a live foal guarantee. Bred by the late trainer Bruce Headley and partner Andrew Molasky, The Street Fighter had a 2-4-2 record in 21 starts and earnings of $165,008 over five years on the Southern California racing circuit. He was saddled for 19 of his races by Headley, with the conditioner's daughter, Karen Headley, taking over training duties after her father's death at 86 in 2021. Karen Headley now owns The Street Fighter with Marsha Naify, a longtime patron of the Headley barn. Both will support the stallion with their own mares. The Street Fighter is the sire of two California-bred foals of 2024. The Street Fighter won his debut by an eye-opening 5 1/2 lengths in a six-furlong maiden special weight on the dirt as a 3-year-old at Santa Anita Park, then later switched to turf for a one-mile allowance score at the same track. He kept on grass and stretched out to 1 1/16 miles for a handy runner-up finish in the 2019 California Dreamin' Stakes at Del Mar, defeating California champions Acclimate, Ashleyluvssugar and Smokey Image. The Street Fighter is the product of two notable Bruce Headley trainees in sire Street Boss and dam Silver Swallow. Street Boss was a three-time graded stakes winner and six-furlong Del Mar track record setter under Headley's management. Silver Swallow, a daughter of 1996 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) winner Alphabet Soup, placed eight times in graded stakes company from the ages of 2 through 7. Her two grade 1 placings include a runner-up finish to subsequent Belmont Stakes (G1) winner and champion 3-year-old filly Rags to Riches in the 2007 Santa Anita Oaks (G1). The Street Fighter is her first foal, and she has since produced five winners from five other starters to date. "In many ways, The Street Fighter represents the culmination of Bruce Headley's unique ability to train and maintain durable, quality horses for the Southern California racing circuit," said Rancho San Miguel owner Tom Clark. "This promising, young stallion is strong and correct, with good bone, and we are pleased to offer him to West Coast breeders at an affordable fee that will help carry these versatile, proven bloodlines forward into the future."
