Cornflower Blue juvenile goes two-from-two
It was a case of déjà vu on Saturday, 25 October, when the Te Akau tangerine colours held by Out Of The Blue (ex Cornflower Blue) streaked past the winning post at Riccarton.

Bred and sold by Waikato Stud at the 2025 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale, it was David Ellis CNZM (BAFNZ) who secured him for $60,000.
Out Of The Blue is the second foal from the Savabeel mare Cornflower Blue, who has an Ardrossan yearling colt and foaled a filly by the son of Redoute’s Choice this season.
