Price's three-year-old team warming up

Monday 30 June 2014, 2:23pm

The Mick Price-trained colts Jabali and Cornrow can expect to see a lot of each other again as three-year-olds.

Jabali and Cornrow clashed in four races during their two-year-old season in which both earned Group One placings.

Price said both horses were in pre-training for the same Group One assignments in the spring.

"The Golden Rose and then the Caulfield Guineas are the aims for both horses to run in," Price said.

"They'll both come into the stable in July and probably race in mid-August."

Studs figure prominently in the ownership of both Cornrow and Jabali.

Kitchwin Hills stands Cornrow's sire Duporth and has a share in the rising three-year-old while Eliza Park International bought a stake in Jabali before his unsuccessful Sydney campaign.

Price said he would plan the pair's spring programs to give them the best chance of scoring the big race win that would set either horse for a career as a commercial stallion prospect.

"We are definitely trying to make them as stallions and planning accordingly," he said.

"If you do programs for all your horses and they are both similar horses, then running in the same races is a by-product of that."

Price also has Group One aims for maiden filly More Radiant in the spring.

More Radiant held her own against the best fillies of her age group in the autumn, finishing third to subsequent Golden Slipper placegetter Bring Me The Maid on debut before running fourth behind star fillies Earthquake and Mossfun in the Group Two Riesling Stakes in Sydney.

Mossfun then came out and beat Earthquake in the Slipper.

Price said his initial thought would be to keep More Radiant to shorter distances in the spring but the Group Three Thousand Guineas Prelude on September 28 would be a key race for the More Than Ready filly.

"If she goes well over the 1400 (metres), she may go to the 1000 Guineas, otherwise we'll run her in the Coolmore (Stud Stakes) at Flemington," Price said.

The Group One Coolmore Stud Stakes will form part of the Victoria Derby day card on November 1.
