Scone, the horse capitol of Australia, is playing host to racing and breeding buffs this week–end.

With record stakes distribution of $1.330 million Scone is firmly entrenched among the richest race meetings outside of a capitol city.

Broodmare owners will be offered the cream of the bloodstock world with the parade of stallions each day at Vinery Stud, with the exception of champion sire, More Than Ready, who is winding up his Northern Hemisphere commitments.

Ballydoyle trainer, Aidan O’Brian, has ambitious plans for More Than Ready’s star U S performer Verrazano, who makes his English debut in the Group1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury tomorrow, his principle mission being the Group1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in mid June .

In his absence the following Vinery sires to be paraded include the outstanding three year old of 2012 -13racing season All Too Hard, he is approaching his second season at stud, Mossman, he has had an amazing year with the evergreen Testa Rossa, Breeders Cup Juvenile success Pluck , Husson, Onemorenomore, Dubleo, Excites and Casino Prince.

The Testa Rossa filly, Twilight Royale, is the only horse eligible for almost $2.65 million in bonuses and prizemoney if she wins the $400,000 Inglis Scone Guineas over 1400 metres.
