A colt from the first crop of champion juvenile Corniche (hip 95) quickly established a new high-water mark, selling to Legion Bloodstock for $1.35-million at OBS March Tuesday.
Out of Canadian champion 3-year-old filly Leigh Court, the colt worked a quarter mile in :21.
Bred in Kentucky by Speedway Stables, LLC, he was consigned by Pick View LLC who purchased him as a yearling at Keeneland September last year for $250,000.
Represented by his first crop of juveniles, 2021 champion 2-year-old colt Corniche stands at Ashford Stud.
“We bought a couple Corniches as yearlings and they're on Travis [Durr]'s farm and he loves them so far,” said Legion's Kristian Vilante. “We tried to buy a filly earlier in the day by Corniche. I think he stamps them, he's just putting out a beautiful horse. He should make it.”
