A full brother to dual Group I winner Bivouac, six year-old Exceed and Excel gelding Corsucate found his moment to shine at Caulfield on Saturday when taking out the Listed MRC Testa Rossa Stakes (1200m).
A homebred for Godolphin trained by James Cummings, Coruscate was resuming from a spell and found himself in a very winnable race with just six runners.
He stalked the pace for Damien Oliver and powered clear to win by two and a quarter lengths eased down.
“
“It’s good for him to have that breakout win at Listed level.”
Coruscate has the overall record of seven wins and eight placings from 21 starts with prizemoney topping $450,000.
Coruscate is the second stakes-winner for his well bred More Than Ready (USA) dam Dazzler joining $2.2million earner Bivouac, who won the Group I ATC Golden Rose last year.
Dazzler is a half-sister to Champion 3YO Filly Guelph ( dam of Group II winner Encryption) being a daughter of Group I winner Camarilla from the family of Golden Slipper winner Sepoy.
Dazzler has a Medaglia D’Oro (USA) two year-old filly called Glittery, a Lonhro yearling colt and was covered by Exceed and Excel again last spring.
Coruscate is the 176th stakes-winner for Darley’s champion sire Exceed and Excel, who stands at a fee of $132,000 this year.
