$250,000 Filly Leads Corniche Offerings at Keeneland November

Champion 2-Year-Old Colt Corniche saw his first weanlings sell for up to $250,000 at this year’s Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.

Purchased by Long Fellow Stable from Valkyre Stud, the Book 1 filly out of Crossing the Tape was bred by Rosa Colasanti, Dr. Naoya Yoshida, and Kara McDermott.

This filly is a half-sister to stakes winner Life Mission from two winners out of her dam, who was a winner herself. Crossing The Tape is a half-sister to dual Grade I winner Gabby’s Golden Gal and Grade II winner and Grade I-placed Always a Princess. Another one of her winning half-sisters is the dam of Grade I winner Locked with a fourth sister the dam of the stakes placed Maksud.

This filly’s stakes winning and Grade II-placed dam Gabriellina Giof is one of two stakes producers out of her own dam Paola Quatraro.

A colt out of Peaceful Feeling brought $200,000 from Mouse Bloodstock during Book 3. Out of Peaceful Feeling, the Grovendale Sales offered colt is bred by Susan Naylor.

This is the third foal out of three-time winner Peaceful Feeling, whose dam is the stakes winning Doo Lang – that mare being the granddam of Grade II-placed Grantham. This page also includes Grade I winners Hit The Road and War Command among 11 stakes performers listed on the page.

Corniche also saw his weanlings sell for $190,000, $115,000, etc. through the first three books of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
