Winter Power wins Gr.3 Cornwallis Stakes

King Power Racing’s Winter Power (Bungle Inthejungle x Titian Saga) has enjoyed a busy juvenile campaign and backed up a first black-type success in Ayr’s September 18th Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes with a dominant display in Friday’s Gr.3 Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket. Sharply into stride to assert for an early lead, the 10-1 chance was comfortable on the front end throughout and surged further clear of toiling rivals once shaken up approaching the final furlong to easily register a first pattern-race triumph by an impressive three lengths from Method. “She won well at Ayr and has bounced back in great form,” commented rider Silvestre De Sousa. “She has won very easily, she has a lot of speed, she bounced off the ground and went to the line with her ears pricked.” The Racing Post wrote, “Winter Power was always racing with plenty of enthusiasm and she slipped the field with relative ease entering the Dip. She showed bags of pace, beating Gr.1 Middle Park favourite Method.” Winter Power, whose sire won this contest in 2012, is a half-sister to Listed Land O’Burns Fillies Stakes victress Hay Chewed, Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy runner-up Flying Sparkle and a yearling filly by Fast Company. She is also full to a weanling colt.
