Smart Winner for Vinery

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 10
Vinery Stud purchased half a dozen yearlings at Inglis Easter last year and the first of them to come out and win a race is Tale of Choice, who scored at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Tale of Choice as a yearlingThe Gerald Ryan trained filly finished midfield when making her debut at Rosehill back in December, but with a short break to regroup and the addition of blinkers, she returned a much better filly for the 1000 metre juvenile maiden.

She was always in contention for Tommy Berry from a good gate and kicked clear to win in good style.

Gerald Ryan credited the blinkers for switching on the daughter of champion Redoute's Choice, saying her work in them had improved out of sight.

"She's a lovely, laid back, quiet filly that eats everything you give her and hasn't a worry in the world," he added.

"She's improving and growing and has a bit of scope to her."

A full sister to Group II placed Raphael's Cat, she was bought by Vinery Stud for $400,000 at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and is the second winner for US Group II winner Cat by the Tale (USA).
