Vinery’s Pride and Joy
More Than Ready, the perennial son of Southern Halo, scaled to new heights over the week end when his daughter, More For Me, a first starter won at Sandown Park, recording for her sire his 3248th winner worldwide.
Besides More For Me’s success at Sandown, Nicamorae won in hollow fashion at Flemington, giving the Vinery Stud based sire a winning double.
More Than Ready is a world renowned success with his progeny winning in 23 different countries, with 246 Stakes winners accumulating $122,471,908 in prize money.
He is by far the highest progeny earner ever to stand in the southern hemisphere, with the exception of Danehill.
Now approaching his 13th season at Vinery his services continue to be in great demand, his popularity has not waned.
More Than Ready was endowed with a great turn of foot that saw him win seven races in the best of company, all were Stakes races.
He is leaving rather nice fillies, two in particular, Nicamorae is out of Nicola Lass, who proved quite a handy filly, in all she won seven quality races, she left seven foals for six winners, among which included Nicconi, a brilliant sprinter, among his wins were the Galaxy at Randwick, and Lightning Stakes at Flemington.
Nicamorae has been nursed along quietly by David Hayes, he is giving her every chance, and she is now a city winner thus has enhanced her value as a future broodmare.

More For Me, a first starter, hit the line hard at Sandown to win the Catanach’s Jewellers Handicap impressively.
There was no fluke about her win she finished her race off nicely, suggesting that is not the conclusion to her winning sequence.
She is out of the Danehill mare, Langness from Isca, a great race filly, she always saved her best for Flemington and the straight six, with her two Group1 wins the Lightning Stakes and the Newmarket Handicap.
