It's always exciting for a stud farm to welcome a Breeders' Cup champion, and this
00:06
year Ashford Stud added not one, but two of those elite racehorses to their stallion roster.
00:11
We talked to Adrian Wallace about two-time Breeders' Cup champion Golden Pal and speedy
00:15
juvenile winner Corniche.
00:19
Golden Pal, what a horse.
00:21
I mean, you talk to Wesley Ward, he leaves you under no impression that he was the best
00:25
horse he ever trained, the fastest horse he's ever trained.
00:27
I think Golden Pal holds a very special place, not only in Randy Lowe's, his Breeders'
00:33
heart, in Wesley Ward's heart, but also in Coolmore's heart.
00:37
Any time a horse can not only take you to the three Breeders' Cups, but win you two
00:41
of them.
00:42
He won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint at two, and then went on to win the Turf Sprint
00:46
at three.
00:47
He holds a very special place in your heart, but then not only that, but he won three great
00:51
twos here at Keeneland, and that's one of the major selling points of him, is he was
00:55
able to win and nearly remain undefeated at Keeneland at his home track in front of
01:01
all the breeders, in front of all the people who are going to be using him.
01:03
So those breeders were able to see firsthand how quick he was out of the gates, how electrifying
01:08
his speed was on the turf track at Keeneland and around the world.
01:14
Really a horse that's been emblematic not only for Ashford, for Wesley Ward, and for
01:20
Golden Pal's sire, Uncle Mo.
01:22
He comes from a very fast midshipman mare named Labied Shipman, who was a very good
01:25
runner in her own right.
01:26
She had a lot of speed, and I think the great thing about Uncle Mo is that you've got not
01:30
only the option of dirt, but you've also got the option, very much, of this horse of turf.
01:36
But to me, he doesn't even look really like a sprinter.
01:38
I think he's fast because he was brilliant.
01:40
That's the great thing about Uncle Mo, is that they're versatile.
01:43
They're good at two, they get going early, and they get better as they get older.
01:47
He's getting a lot of mares.
01:49
He's getting inquiries from every type of breeder around.
01:52
He's getting a really, really good book of mares behind him.
01:55
Great at stakes winners, great at stakes producers.
01:57
He's going to be one of the most popular horses we've ever stood.
02:02
When you look at Cornish, the first thing that comes to mind, certainly in my mind,
02:06
is speed.
02:07
He's very like his sire, quality road.
02:09
He's got that same physique, that same structure to him.
02:13
Balanced horse, good hip and shoulder on him, good mover, very correct.
02:16
He was a very high-priced juvenile at OBS, costing Speedway Stables 1.5 million.
02:23
Out of a very good race, Mare wasted tears.
02:25
She was a multiple grade two winner on the track.
02:28
He's very well-bred from a good racehorse family.
02:31
He tore up the track down in Ocala, and then went on to break his maiden by widening five
02:37
and a half lengths, and then went on to become, obviously, an Eclipse Award-winning two-year-old.
02:42
The first thing you think about, he's all speed.
02:44
I don't think we'll ever forget the display Cornish put on in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile
02:49
that year.
02:50
He overcame a very wide draw, and that left us under no illusion who the best horse was
02:55
on that day as he romped to a juvenile championship.
02:58
Off the rail, pop a cap.
03:00
Tritus did those two, but it's Cornish.
03:03
He's just too good.
03:05
Cornish wins the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
03:08
He's been very popular.
03:09
I mean, I think everyone wants two-year-old Speed.
03:11
People want to get to the races early, and that's the greatest selling point of any stallion.
03:16
I think horses like Cornish, like Golden Pal, offer that.
03:20
They're the ones that will get you to the races early, and hopefully get you on the
03:23
race track and on the big stage.
