Cornichon

Cornichon made a highly promising debut at Newbury, where he stayed on eye-catchingly for fourth, in a race where the winner and second benefitted from a strong draw bias. Cornichon finished 'first' in his group down the stands' rail, which included the favourite, so the performance was massively better than the bare result. Please click here to watch a replay.

He was bought for 85,000 guineas at the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up in the spring by renowned bloodstock investor, Patrick Veitch. His valuation has now risen to £160,000 as he has turned out to be one of Roger Varian’s most promising two year olds.

His young sire has done very well so far at stud - despite a rather low quality book of mares - producing numerous classy horses with Racing Post Ratings up to 113, led by Go Athletico, and we believe he is on the rise as a stallion.

The dam Peligrosa was unraced, but she is by the late Acclamation, who is a classy broodmare sire responsible for multiple Group winners, including Diego Velazquez at the highest level. Peligrosa has produced two winners from two runners to date, including Pelinia, by Golden Horn, who won twice at two and was fourth in a Listed race. Her other progeny Peligroso, by Zarak, has won once so far this year, competing at Class 2 level in France with more to come and both of those foals show that the mare has made a highly promising start to her paddock career.

Trainer Roger Varian needs little introduction. In recent years, he has been responsible for the likes of Group 1 winners Charyn, Bayside Boy, Eldar Eldarov and King Of Steel, among many others, and Roger has shown the utmost professionalism and quality of updates.
