Not long before owner MARK CORNETT successfully bid $140,000 on a pretty Malibu Moon two-year-old filly at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales April auction on Wednesday, he was in conversation with Canadian Thoroughbred, discussing their very successful C2 RACING STABLE which he owns with his brother Clint, and their interest in racing a few horses at Woodbine in 2024.

Mark, who is from Naples, Florida, and Clint, from Flower Mound, Texas, have been longtime racegoers and have owned horses for a couple of decades. They started up C2 Racing Stable, which races horses solely or in partnership, in 2021.

You may know the Cornett’s top horse currently – the brilliant WHITE ABARRIO, winner of the 2023 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) at Santa Anita and earner of over $5 million.  One of Thoroughbred racing’s top horses in the last decade, White Abarrio, who is co-owned by Prince Faisal and La Milagrosa Stable and trained by Rick Dutrow, is currently being pointed to a return at the Belmont meeting at Saratoga in early June.
