Hallowed Crown, rated among the best three-year-olds in Australia this season, has been retired to stud.

The colt will stand his first season at Darley's Kelvinside in the NSW Hunter Valley, the resting place of his legendary grandsire Street Cry.

Hallowed Crown will retire as the winner of two Group One races - the Golden Rose and the Randwick Guineas - after racing out of the Bart and James Cumming stable.

In a career restricted to nine starts, Hallowed Crown won six times and earned almost $1.4 million in prize money.

The son of the 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense was bred and raced by Eduardo Cojuangco's Gooree Stud before a half share was sold to Darley last year.

In his Golden Rose win, Hallowed Crown defeated Scissor Kick while he was too good for Sweynesse in the Randwick Guineas.

He bows out of racing after a midfield finish in the Doncaster Mile earlier this month.
