Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 19

Horses carrying the Vinery V brand have been enjoying an outstanding run of success and just last Saturday the long list of stakes-winners to come out of the Hunter Valley nursery this season got a little longer when Losesomewinmore captured the Listed VRC Straight Six at Flemington.

Trained by Richard and Chantelle Jolly, six year-old All Too Hard gelding Losesomewinmore was foaled and raised at Vinery and has the impressive record of seven wins from 14 starts and now a Black Type success.

He joins fellow Vinery graduates to win Black Type races this season in G1 winners Sepals and Lara Antipova, G2 winner Cristal Clear, plus star 3YO’s Sixties, Sass Appeal and Legacy Bound, not to mention G3 winning 2YO Music Time, a brave third in the Golden Slipper.

Buyers have a great opportunity to tap into the power of the Vinery Stud start to life at the upcoming Magic Millions National Weanling Sale on Sunday with seven youngsters to be offered including three by the farm’s quality young sire Exceedance.
