CORNERSTONE

TORONADO, a son of HIGH CHAPARRAL and the former Al Shaqab Racing runner, with a record of 6 wins and 3 seconds in 12 starts while Richard Hughes as his regular jockey, winning distance from 1300M to 1600M. He remained unbeaten when he was 2 until being ran down by DAWN APPROACH in 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes under the care of Richard Hannon Sr., but he fought back in Sussex Stakes afterwards. He landed Queen Anne Stakes for trainer Richard Hannon as a 5YO. After that, he made his move to Breeders' Cup Mile but failed. He entered stud in 2015, 44 runners of him won the black type contests and his service fee in 2025 is AUD$ 88,000. The stallion has been suspended from his duties which he suffered a significant infection, which in turn has caused him lameness. CORNERSTONE was formerly known as TORONADO DELUXE that purchased by Upper Bloodstock at AUD$ 130,000 as a yearling and owned by that bloodstock limited which trained by Peter Robl in Australia with 1 win and 1 third in 2 starts. After finished three 2nd in barrier trials, he ran on for 3rd on his debut in a 1200M race at Beaudesert, then broke his maiden in a 1200M event by racing handy at Gold Coast. His dam PETITE BRIEFS recorded 3 wins at 1000M and her five winning foals ran on well in sprint events. The chestnut gelding should be most suited over 1400M or under in distance and fine on soft going.
