Following on from major announcements regarding the additions of American wonder horse, Big Brown and Red Ransom’s son, Onemorenomore to our roster in 2010, Vinery Stud is pleased to confirm that it will once again be sponsoring the Group One $400,000 STC Vinery Stud Stakes on AAMI Golden Slipper day.

“Vinery Stud recognises that the AAMI Golden Slipper plays a central role in promoting Australian racing as the world’s richest race for two-year-olds,” Vinery general manager Peter Orton said.

“To be involved in such an important day’s racing gives us an opportunity to showcase our roster, our Easter yearlings and present racetrack performers.”

Vinery Stud resident sire More Than Ready has been responsible for the last two AAMI Golden Slipper winners (Sebring and Phelan Ready) and has a chance to make it three in a row via the Gai Waterhouse-trained colt Brightexpectations.

Since it was first contested in 1979, the Group One $400,000 STC Vinery Stud Stakes has been won by some outstanding fillies including Research, Slight Chance, Miss Finland, Hill Of Grace, Champagne and Shower Of Races.

“The Easter period is an exciting time to be involved in the thoroughbred industry, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish our clients all the very best of luck with their carnival hopefuls and those who have yearlings to sell at Inglis, Newmarket next month,” Orton said
