Corniche’s second offering through the ring comes in with plenty of updates when Lane’s End offers Hip 123.
Bred by Emily and Oliver Bushnell in Kentucky, the colt is out of Dixie Chatter mare Locust Bride. That mare is now the dam of three winners from four to race with her 3-year-old Radio Goo Goo winning after the catalog was released and her juvenile placing on debut on September 2nd. The mare’s Munnings’s 4-year-old also added an update when he placed after the catalog came out with only one of her four runners not having a recent update.
Locust Bride is a half-sister to Munnings’ stakes placed Vulcan and is out of a granddaughter of multiple Grade I placed Chile Chatte, who also produced Grade II winner and Grade I-placed Horse Greeley.
