One to Watch – Ballarat

Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 26
He was a leading contender for the tag of 'Australia's best maiden' until today when he shed the despised label at Ballarat.

Cornrow as a yearlingDuporth three year-old Cornrow was good enough to finish third in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes and ATC Sires Produce Stakes last year, but a win proved elusive.

Disappointing form in the spring led to a decision to geld the good looking colt and it was a new look Cornrow that stepped out for Mick Price in the 1200 metre maiden.

Ridden by Damien Oliver, Cornrow travelled sweetly just behind the leaders and when asked to move up three wide on the turn he sped clear to win by a length and a half as a hot favourite.

It might have been the first win for Cornrow in 11 starts, but he's won over $280,000 in prizemoney and now that he has broken the ice it might well be onwards and upwards.

A $170,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Kitchwin Hills draft, Cornrow is the first foal of stakes-winning Exceed and Excel mare Baby Corn.

Kitchwin Hills will offer a full brother to Cornrow at the 2015 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale as Lot 296.
