Corsicana retired
. Corsicana has been retired after failing to stand up to her latest race preparation and will be bred from in the spring, probably with the young stallion, First Norman. Corsicana had a recurrence of soreness after her final gallop for the Jack White Handicap at the recent South Canterbury meeting. By Half feed from the richly bred mare, Smokey Princess, Corsicana won her first two starts last season at two before going down to Vinegar Lil in the
third at Riccarton at Easter. Corsicana ran a good third in the Grigg Classic last September before winning the Canterbury Belle Stakes but her problems prevented the best being seen of her after that She is owned by Don Cameron who has concentrated on buying horses rather than breeding in the past Mr Cameron sold an earlier filly purchase, the brilliant Crystal Brook, though that Star Way filly remains Canterburyowned and is based at Beltana Stud.
