Vinery Back Among The Winners
Winners came in rapid succession for Vinery yesterday, at Canterbury Park, when Golden Aro started favourite in winning, by a wide margin, putting another winner on the board for his sire, More Than Ready.
More Than Ready is a remarkable sire, one in a lifetime, siring 1625 runners for 1184 winners, returning in excess of $126 million in prize money, with 128 stakes winners to his credit list.
He almost has as many flyer points up as he has winners, having crossed the Pacific 27 times on the shuttle service, between Vinery in the U S, and Vinery in the Hunter Valley.
Myboycharlie was among the successful sires also at Canterbury Park when his daughter, Artistic Lass, put a space in the opposition to win the 1900 metres of the Ranvet Handicap.
She is out of a good family, there is quite some residual value there being a half sister to Sistine Demon, whilst her grand dam, Rancheetah, trained by the late Geoff Murphy, won eight city races and left five winning foals.
