No time is wasted at Vinery after Samaready missed a place in the Group3 How Now Stakes at Caulfield last Saturday week; she was covered the following Wednesday evening by All Too Hard.

Whilst there was a possible reason for her defeat at Caulfield, as she cast a shoe, also had she raced the possibility of an early foal could have been jeopardised.

“All Too Hard’s first crop of foals are exceptional, it’s a perfect mating, Samaready was a high class filly, “said Vinery’s Manager, Peter Orton.

Samaready was the best two year old filly of her year, winning the Blue Diamond Stakes Group1, she returned from injury to win the Moir Stakes, also at Group1 level, in all she won six races from 13 starts with $1.67 million in stakes earnings.

All Too Hard is getting the opportunity his race ability and pedigree deserve, he has a superb book of mares awaiting him again in his second season.

Hence the support has continued on from last season when he covered 18 Group 1 winning mares, and the dams of 12 Group 1 winners.

Three of the leading fillies on Timeform ratings Samaready on (123), Snitzerland on (118), have both been covered, while Hussousa (114), the Gimcrack Stakes winner, delivered her first foal in August by More Than Ready, all will be covered by All Too Hard.

Buffering Wins Fourth Group 1

There were accolades a plenty after Buffering’s Group1 success in the Group 1 Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

That was the fourth Group1 win for the son of Mossman, a proven acquisition for Vinery since coming down from Queensland.

Mossman has certainly blossomed since his arrival in the Hunter Valley where he is quite a popular sire, as results have shown.

Congrats Two Year Olds Impressive

Results out of the U S of late are looking good for Congrats, with his first Australian crop to commence racing in the coming weeks

Congrats, by A P Indy, entered stud in the U S in 2007, he has since sired winners over of $13million with his two year olds this season looking rather good.

Temper Mint Patty, a filly, ventured up to Belmont last week, putting away a handy field by an astonishing 13 lengths.

The win came off her race debut, in a Maiden race at Saratoga, in which she won by five lengths.

Temper Mint Patty engaged next week end in the Listed Joseph Gimma Stakes at $150,000.

The long range plans are for the filly to go off to Kentucky for the Oaks in May of next year.
