The Altomonte family owned Corumbene Stud is delving into the business of standing stallions this spring with their homebred sires Menari and Standout and the famous orange and brown colours were in the winner’s circle at Randwick on Wednesday carried by first starter Tashi.
Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, the two year-old Sebring filly was well fancied off a couple of encouraging trials and produced a good finish for Sam Clipperton to run home and win.
Tashi had just enough left on the line to hold of the fast finishing Chris Waller trained fillies Cabaca and Super Chilled with all three fillies looking well worth following on from here.
“She was well held in a couple of trials, but we always thought she had more to offer and she was a little bit too good for them today,” said Paul Snowden.
Tashi is the second foal and first winner for the Shadwell bred Street Cry (IRE) mare Ghenwaa that was bought by Corumbene Stud for $300,000 from the 2018 Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale.
Ghenwaa is a winning half-sister to stakes-winners Taraayef and Haybah from the family of dual Derby winner and sire Rebel Raider.
Corumbene Stud sold a yearling filly by More Than Ready (USA) from Ghenwaa at Magic Millions this year for $130,000 to Dynamic Syndications/Dean Watt Bloodstock.
Tashi is the sixth 2YO winner from the final crop of foals sired by Widden Stud’s much missed Golden Slipper winner Sebring.
