1-2-3 Vinery
I'm sure someone else has already picked up on the following (in an ideal world one [i.e. "me"] should, of course, research such things PRIOR to writing a post) but in case someone missed it - it would seem that Vinery stallions scored the trifecta in last Saturday's G2 Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill.

First across the line was Media, a 2 yo filly by former Vinery shuttler Gilded Time. More than Ready sired both place getters: Carry on Cutie (b f 2 More Than Ready (USA) - Rose of Latakia (NZ) by Conquistarose (USA)) and Blizzardly (b f 2 More Than Ready (USA) - Concise by Marscay).

The race was run in 1m 9.38s, a new race record.

Speaking of a stud farm reveling in a race result, Mungrup Stud in Western Australia had good reason to celebrate earlier this month as well when Lock the Vault won the $150,000 Malaysia Airlines Magic Millions Perth 2YO Classic (1200m) at Belmont. A $45,000 graduate from last year's Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale, Lock the Vault was yet another Magic Millions triumph for Mungrup Stud; Mungrup having now sold three of the past four Magic Millions Perth 2YO Classic winners. They also offered and sold this year's third placegetter Torrid Affair. The previous Magic Millions Perth 2YO Classic winners for Mungrup Stud were Scottish Storm and Rose of Thunder.
