Cornishman returns to New Mexico on Monday to be part of a competitive field of 10 older horses in the $65,000 Winsham Lad at Sunland Park. The one-mile race for 4-year-olds and up is one of two stakes on the card. The program also includes the $80,000 Jamison Memorial. The Winsham Lad is a stepping-stone to the $200,000 Sunland Park Stakes on April 5. The race is the meet’s most significant offering for older horses and will be run at 1 1/8 miles. That’s the same distance over which Cornishman secured his biggest career win, last July’s Grade 3 Cornhusker at Prairie Meadows. In November, he made his way to New Mexico and finished third in the $100,000 Zia Park Championship over 1 1/16 miles. Cornishman enters the Winsham Lad off a fifth-place finish to Nysos in the Grade 2 Laffit Pincay Jr. on Dec. 28 at Santa Anita. :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing! DRF Past Performances and Picks are available now. Cornishman has been working sharply at Turf Paradise since the Pincay for trainer Dan McFarlane. His drills include a bullet five furlongs in 58.60 seconds Jan. 15 and six furlongs in 1:11.20 on Jan. 29. Ze’bul is another major player in the Winsham Lad. He was second in the Zia Park Championship won by millionaire Heroic Move. In his next and most recent start, Ze’bul won the Jeffrey Hawk Memorial in December at Remington Park. Bearings will get some support as the winner of the Downs at Albuquerque Handicap in October, with the win coming over Heroic Move. Others of interest in the Winsham Lad include Mine That Star, who is a past winner of the Sunland Park Stakes. He’s also a half-brother to Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. What a Dude has more natural speed than most of his rivals and could show the way Monday or track the field’s lone sprint-to-route runner, Compelling Uncle. Holiday Pay is another who could sit just off the pace in a trip that might give him first run at the leaders over shorter-priced rivals like Cornishman and Ze’bul. Jamison Memorial Marking was the leading general sire last year in New Mexico and it’s races like the Jamison Memorial that spotlight why he is dominant in the state’s stallion ranks. Marking has three leading contenders in the 6 1/2-furlong Jamison, which is for 4-year-olds and up bred in New Mexico. Antonios Mark won the biggest race for his division in November when he captured the $200,000 New Mexico Cup Classic at Zia Park. It was part of a four-race win streak for the son of Marking, who overall has earned more than $500,000. Mojica was another winner for Marking on the New Mexico Cup card at Zia. He accounted for the $150,000 Derby, which was run over 6 1/2 furlongs. Mojica returned in his next start to win a six-furlong allowance at Sunland. Marking’s final starter in the Jamison is Marking Canyon, who is looking for his third straight win. Overall, he’s won three of his last four starts. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
