There is no better time of the year for a stallion to be siring winners than at present, with the breeding season less than three months away, mare owners are looking for a sire that fits the bill, one that is getting winners, or a highly promising young sire about to embark on a stud career.

Vinery was well to the fore during last week-end, with four of their popular sires responsible for five winners at four of the major racing venues.

The flagship of Vinery, More Than Ready, has enjoyed another great season, with the exception of Danehill he is the most successful dual hemisphere sire we have known, with progeny earnings exceeding $212 million.

Lockroy, a nicely bred three year old gelding by More Than Ready out of Polar Success, trained by the Hawkes team, turned in an impressive win at Rosehill.

The following race was won by Final Decision, he flew the flag for his sire, Onemorenomore, a son of Red Ransom with a really sound female family to support him.

Husson, who has an unbeaten race record in South America and has topped the juvenile sire’s list in Australia a couple of seasons ago, was firing up with a two state double, Pop’N’ Scotch taking out the Qld.Times Prov. Final at Ipswich, while Husson Eagle took out the A R Creswick Series Heat 4 at Flemington.

Casino Prince, a weight for age success, kept it all in tact when Flying Casino easily scored at Morphettville, he had two and a quarter lengths to spare from his nearest rival, Clarify.
