00:00The best two-year-old by legendary sire, Quality Road.
00:03In the back, a million five.
00:05Very, very impressive debut.
00:08Cantering home could not have been more impressive.
00:11Coast to coast, and the American pharaoh, he's the real deal.
00:15Undefeated and unchallenged at two.
00:18He's just too good!
00:20He wins the Breeders' Cup Jubilee!
00:22Cornish!
00:25Cornish.
00:31It's Eclipse Award time, and what better time to look back on a past winner now at stud.
00:35And where better to start with than the 2021 Eclipse Champion Juvenile, Cornish.
00:40Cornish was an unbeaten dual group one winning champion by Quality Road.
00:45He was a $1.5 million sales topper.
00:48And his Breeders' Cup Juvenile time at Del Mar was four-fifths of a second faster
00:52than the only other juvenile held at Del Mar won by Good Magic in 2017.
00:56Zoe, Kevin, I know you worked with Marrette Farrell, a Bloodstock agent,
01:00in the purchase of this horse for $1.5 million.
01:04It's now going on to a stallion career.
01:05What can you tell us?
01:07I mean, honestly, I could wax lyrical for about the next 45 minutes about Cornish,
01:12especially from the first day we saw him.
01:14When we worked the two-year-old sales, it was the April two-year-old sale.
01:17I'm in the grandstand.
01:20Marrette's down on the turn, and we have Tesha Von Blucher on the backside.
01:24And I watched him work, and I was just in wow.
01:27He just had a stride like you wouldn't believe.
01:30Now, that was on the safe track.
01:32He showed what he can do on dirt.
01:34He was never headed as a two-year-old.
01:36Now, he had some niggling issues that kept him pretty much out of his three-year-old season,
01:40and then he was retired.
01:41But as a two-year-old on dirt, never headed, not once, just the most beautiful mover.
01:48I mean, he's by Quality Road, one of the best sires in the world, in my opinion.
01:53And the fact that we only saw him run on the dirt,
01:56I think he's going to be a great sire on turf as well.
01:59Sky's the limit.
02:00He had length, depth, and he was cat-like.
02:03Probably one of the most athletic horses I've ever seen.
02:07Cornish's first falls are arriving this week.
02:09He stands at Colemore for $25,000.
