V is for Vinery

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday March 23

The Vinery brand is one carried by some great horses including this year’s leading Golden Slipper contender / Blue Diamond winner Artorius and Breednet owner Craig Tompson has been spoiled for choice while viewing the Vinery Inglis Easter parade in the Hunter Valley on Tuesday with Team Inglis.

Tompson is the analytical brain and mastermind behind the data that drives Breednet and has been the creative force behind the popular nicks information now incorporated into our site, so it’s no wonder his eye should fall on a colt at Vinery that is bred on one of those ‘Nicks that Clicks’.

Lot 416 is a Not a Single Doubt colt from Marvellous That, a More Than Ready (USA) mare that won her only start at Newcastle and is a grand-daughter of Group I winner Joie Denise, whose Group I descendants include champion mare More Joyous and Group I winners Tuesday Joy, Sunday Joy and Fenway.

The Not a Single Doubt over More Than Ready mares nick has achieved great success with nearly 80% winners to runners and 17% stakes-winners to runners. Five stakes-winners are bred this way headed by dual Group I winner Miracles of Life.

Everyone would love to get a first foal that looks like this one! Lot 63 is an Exceed and Excel colt from winning Lonhro mare Sanity, a full sister to stakes-winner Trim, who is the dam of Group III winner Manicure.

Interesting that Manicure is also by Exceed and Excel making this colt a brother-in-blood to the $600,000 plus earner and when we throw Group I winner Gatting into the pedigree, we see a very attractive page to match the type.

 

Fillies with family is something Inglis Easter is renowned for and Lot 421 fills that brief.
