A double for consistent stallion Mossman (Success Express - Lichen Lady, by Twig Moss) has laid the platform for a treble for Vinery Stud on Tuesday.

Ulladulla (Mossman - Colonial Charm, by Bletchingly) provided a Queensland leg to Mossman’s double with his win in the XXXX Gold Handicap (1200m) at Townsville.

Geelong training partners Jamie Edwards and Bruce Elkington prepared Mossman’s other winner of the day at Seymour. The $25,000 purchase Mossailey (Mossman - Diamond Hailey, by Zabeel) won the Centrebet Handicap (1612m) at Seymour.

Diamond Hailey (Zabeel - Crystal Hailey, by Greinton) was a winner at Listed level in Adelaide in 2005.

The Slumdogmillionaire (Dubleo - Pikelet, by Bluebird) became the third winner for Vinery stallions when the three-year-old gelding won the Manning Shoes Maiden Plate (1000m) at Taree.

Slumdogmillionaire provided Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) with his 11th success of the season. Mossman’s double took his win tally for the season to 41.

Meanwhile, Cornerstone Stud sires Hussonet (Mr Prospector - Sacahuista, by Raja Baba) and Barely A Moment (Gilded Time - Lady Danna, by Danehill) combined for a winning double at Seymour on Tuesday.

Seeyasoon (Barely A  Moment - Josalie, by Magic Of Money) claimed the Mitchelton Wines Handicap (1412m) while Reigning Lass (Hussonet - Pray For Reign, by Fairy King) won the IASbet Handicap (1309m).

Centaine (Century - Rainbeam, by Vain) mare Ungaro (Centaine - Isla Bijou, by Noble Bijou) earned her eighth winner from eight foals to race when Heels (Pins - Ungaro, by Centaine) scored on debut at Nowra.

Warwick Farm trainer Gary Portelli made the trip to Nowra to educate the three-year-old filly, who did her part with a comfortable two-length win in the Courting Horse Of The Year Maiden (1200m).

Heels is a sister to the promising four-year-old Somepin Anypin (Pins - Ungaro, by Centaine). Ungaro has also produced the stakes winners Salsa (O’Reilly - Ungaro, by Centaine) and Rule Of Engagement (Danasinga - Ungaro, by Centaine).

Ungaro is a sister to the Group 1 winner Centisle (Centaine - Isla Bijou, by Noble Bijou) as well as the Group 2 performer Sylvaner (Danasinga - Isla Bijou, by Noble Bijou). Sylvaner is the dam of stakes winner Vesper (Zabeel - Isla Bijou, by Noble Bijou).

Meanwhile, Vinery’s consistent resident Testa Rossa (Perugino - Bo Dapper, by Sir Dapper) provided the lion’s share of a treble for the Hunter Valley operation on Tuesday.

Red Hustler (Tests Rossa - Rose Sapphire, by Keltrice) won the Eastcoast Paint Handicap (1741m) at Sale before Destiny Express (Testa Rossa - Shoot The Stars, by Entrepreneur) claimed the Pallarenda Raceday 11/10 Handicap (1200m) at Townsville.

Bel Danoro’s (Danehill - Bislotto, by Bellotto) first winner for the season provided the highlight of Vinery Stud’s terrific start to the week with four successes on a busy Monday for the Hunter Valley operation.

The Neville Layt-trained Bel Edition (Bel Danoro - Youthful Edition, by Youthful Legs) scored a narrow but promising debut win in the Jacob Park Thoroughbreds Maiden Plate (900m) at Queanbeyan.

Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) made it on to the winner’s list at Muswellbrook after the Luke Griffith-trained Double Halo (Dubleo - Diamond Girl, by Luskin Star) claimed the Arrowfield Stud Handicap (1500m). Double Halo’s win was the fourth this season for Dubleo.

Stirring Emotion (Excites - Red Fever, by Red Tonto) scored her third win from eight starts after the three-year-old filly prevailed in a tight finish to the Sportofkings.com.au Country Plate (1280m) at Muswellbrook.

Stirring Emotion denied Dubleo a winning double after holding off Machiavelli (Dubleo - Milzeka, by Geiger Counter) completed a Vinery Stud quinella in the $10,000 race.

The ever-reliable Testa Rossa (Perugino - Bo Dapper, by Sir Dapper) completed Vinery’s quartet of wins when the Darren Weir-trained three-year-old Most Husbands (Testa Rossa - No Say, by Celestial Dancer) won the TS Sand & Bobcat Maiden Plate (1200m) at Swan Hill.

Most Husbands’s win was Testa Rossa’s 13th, from 12 individual winners, in the first four weeks of the season.

The Vinery Stud stallion line-up was among the winners all over Australia on Wednesday after the team produced winners in four states.

Caulfield trainer Mick Price has enjoyed terrific success with the progeny of Vinery Stud sires. Price prepared the former Perth horse Sir Hallowell (More Than Ready - Valda Merceda, by Hennessy) to win the Betfair Handicap (1210m) at Mornington.

Sir Hallowell’s dam, Valda Merceda (Hennessy - Princess Josinda, by Imposing), is a five-time winner who is also a half-sister to the New Zealand Group 1 winner Bawalaksana (Straight Strike - Princess Josinda, by Imposing) as well as the Australian Group 3 winner Damaschino (Last Tycoon - Princess Josinda, by Imposing).

Mossman (Success Express - Lady Lichen, by Twig Moss) got on the board for the 2011/12 season when his three-year-old son Vintage Moss (Mossman - Florenza, by Beautiful Crown) won the Cellarbrations Maiden Plate (1000m) at Eagle Farm. Hawlika (Excites - Sweet Thunder, by Thunder Gulch) completed the NSW leg of Vinery’s successes when the filly won the Coffs Bookies Maiden Handicap (1400m) at Coffs Harbour.

Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) filly Keystone Rose (Dubleo - Caledonia Rose, by Woodman) completed Vinery Stud’s successful day when the three-year-old claimed the Westspeed Handicap (1000m) at Belmont Park in Perth.

A double to prolific stallion Testa Rossa (Perugino - Do Dapper, by Sir Dapper) has led Vinery Stud to a treble for the third successive day on Friday.

Vinery has enjoyed a four days in which the Hunter Valley operation has produced 11 winners. Testa Rossa has produced five winners on his own since Tuesday while Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) has notched four successes.

The in-form duo was among the winners again on Friday. Ruadhan (Testa Rossa - Mamzelle Perdita, by Vite Cheval) won the 83.9 FM Hot Country Handicap (1900m) while Talia Mia (Testa Rossa - Snippets Breeze, by Snippets) claimed the 93.9 Bay FM News Handicap (1100m) at the Geelong Synthetic meeting.

Dubleo earned his third win in 24 hours when Monnie’s Double (Dubleo - Monrich, by Monongahela) prevailed in a tight finish to the Wyong Rugby LC Group Maiden Handicap (1100m) at Wyong.

Meanwhile, Lyndhurst Stud stalwart Sequalo (Rustic Amber - Dash Around, by Bending Away) made a fast start to Friday’s Ipswich meeting with winners in the first two races of the day.

Amber Rae (Sequalo - Angelah Moon, by Monongahela) proved too speedy for her opposition in the Zupp’s Browns Plains Maiden Plate (800m) before the Liam Birchley-trained Sheeza Sort (Sequalo - Alexa Ray, by Shovhog) claimed the Craig’s Engineering Maiden Handicap (1020m) in convincing fashion.

A double to Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) has provided the springboard for a Vinery Stud treble at Rosehill and the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Vinery Stud stallions struck in successive races at Rosehill. The well-performed two-year-old Queenian (Dubleo - Tango Music, by Palace Music) broke through for an authoritative win in the Champs Cafe 2YO Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill before Testarhythm (Testa Rossa - Dancing Bridges, by Danske) claimed the Perfection Fresh Handicap (1350m).

The Alan Bailey-trained Dobros (Dubleo - Senorita Peta, by Senor Pete) completed Vinery Stud’s treble with a three-length win in the Airstep Underlays Maiden Plate (1400m) at the Gold Coast.

Dubleo’s dual success took his Australian win tally to 83 from 41 individual winners.

Meanwhile, Darley resident Commands (Danehill - Cotehele House, by My Swanee) continued his relentless charge toward 150 winners for the season with another double at the Moonee Valley and Rosehill meetings.

Commands’s tally reached 146 after Mr Make Believe (Commands - Simply Believe, by Kenmare) strolled to an easy win in the Don Abell Cup (1514m) at Moonee Valley and exciting prospect Rain Affair (Commands - I Believe, by Octagonal) won the Harris Farm Handicap (1100m) at Rosehill.

Vinery Stud sires took a major hand in Australia’s two-year-old ranks on Sunday with a trio of juvenile winners around the country.

The Jason McLachlan-trained two-year-old Absalon (Mossman - Danish Seaway, by Danehill) provided the best of Vinery’s three successes. Absalon gave away experience to his older rivals before the two-year-old scored a comfortable win in the Clear Cut Excavation Maiden Plate (1000m) on the Sunshine Coast Cushion track.

Vinery’s second season sire Benicio (More Than Ready - Mannington, by Danehill) earned his second juvenile win of the season when Zastabelle (Benicio - Espuela, by Flying Spur) took out the Rising Prince Gold Nugget (1100m) at Bathurst. The David Pfeiffer- trained filly broke her maiden at her second attempt.

Another Vinery resident, Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat), also earned his second juvenile success of the season when Hey Soul Sister (Dubleo - Duchess Danehill, by Danehill Dancer) claimed the Australian Security Fencing Handicap (1150m) at Cessnock. Bidders allowed Hey Soul Sister to be passed in at $1500 at last year’s Inglis Scone Select Yearling Sale.

Vinery’s top two-year-old stallion More Than Ready (Southern Halo - Woodman’s Girl, by Woodman) brought up the operation’s fourth win for the day when Stealapipe (More Than Ready - Kilspindie, by Danehill) took out the CSU Halls Of Residences Maiden (1400m) at Bathurst. Stealapipe cost his owners $40,000 at the 2008 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.

Coolmore Stud’s former shuttler Fusaichi Pegasus (Mr Prospector - Angel Fever, by Danzig) earned his 56th individual stakes winner worldwide when Falino (Fusaichi Pegasus - Danamala, by Danehill) scored a narrow victory in the Group 3 BTC Classic (1350m) at Doomben.

Falino’s trainer Jeffrey Caught said he would aim the promising three-year-old at a much bigger prize in next month’s Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm. The unheralded trainer said he would give Falino a chance to earn a Stradbroke Handicap start in the Group 3 QTC Cup on June 4.

“He’s a nice horse and he’s slowly improved as he’s gone along. There’s a bit more improvement in front of him too,” Caught said.

“He’ll go into the QTC Cup now and it’s always been my plan to have a crack at the Stradbroke with him.

“Realistically, if he can’t win the QTC Cup he can’t win the Stradbroke.”

Coolmore Stud also enjoyed a stakes success in Melbourne when the Hawkes Racing-trained Niwot (Galileo - Too Darn Hot, by Noble Bijou) comfortably won the Listed Andrew Ramsden Stakes (3200m) at Flemington.

Niwot’s owners, including Andrew Ramsden himself, paid $200,000 for the stayer at the 2006 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale in Sydney. The six-year-old took his prizemoney to more than $400,000 with his 2-1/4 length success.

Still in Melbourne, the brave Dubleo (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) mare Dubleanny (Dubleo - Uncanny Lady, by Canny Lad) recorded the third stakes success of her 16-start career with her narrow win in the Listed Straight Six (1200m) at Flemington.

Dubleanny is Dubleo’s sole Australian stakes winner. The mare carried the green and white colours of Dubleo’s home farm, Vinery Stud, to victory in Saturday’s $100,000 race.

Caulfield trainer Mick Price produced a pair of stakes successes at Sunday’s Morphettville meeting, including a new stakes winner by the former Stoney Bridge Stud shuttler Ekraar (Red Ransom - Sacahuista, by Raja Baba).

Ekraar won the Group 1 Gran Premio del Jockey Club (2200m) for Godolphin in 2003 before his short stint as a shuttle stallion between Europe and New Zealand in the middle of the previous decade. Vivid Vixen became the stallion’s fifth individual stakes winner when the mare won the Listed ACG Security Stakes (2004m) at Morphettville.

Dubleanny (Dubleo - Uncanny Lady, by Canny Lad) was the Price stable’s other stakes winner when the classy mare wore down her rivals to win the Listed Proud Miss Stakes (1200m). Dubleanny is Vinery sire Dubleo’s (Southern Halo - Secret Red, by Secretariat) only stakes winner, Sunday’s win was her second stakes success from 15 starts.

Meanwhile, Coolmore Stud stallion Choisir (Danehill Dancer - Great Selection, by Lunchtime) picked up his 30th individual stakes winner when the Darren Weir-trained two-year-old Manhattan Maid (Choisir - Take Manhattan, by Marauding) won the Listed Dequettville Stakes (1100m) at Morphettville. Manhattan Maid was Choisir’s second stakes success in the space of five days after Uxorious (Choisir - Shiny Mai, by Keltrice) won the Listed Wangoom Handicap (1200m) at Warrnambool on Wednesday.

Father and son duo Success Express (Hold Your Peace - Au Printemps, by Dancing Champ) and Mossman (Success Express - Lichen Lady, by Twig Moss) provided the highlight of a productive Easter Monday for Vinery Stud sires.

Vinery had success at every major Australian meeting held on Monday, except for the Kensington meeting at Randwick, with three of its current roster producing winners. Success Express enjoyed a win at Oakbank when Success Dostta (Success Express - Fringe, by Night Shift) won the flat feature, the $50,000 Onkaparinga Cup (2150m).

Mossman got on the scoreboard after his daughter Mossamine (Mossman - Glint Of Gold, by Danehill) won the Singo’s Wholesale Meats Handicap (1600m) at Gosford. Dual Golden Slipper-winning sire More Than Ready (Southern Halo - Woodman’s Girl, by Woodman) earned a win at Eagle Farm when Citywise (More Than Ready - Citichy, by Citidancer) took out the Qardss Handicap (1400m).

In Melbourne, the Mick Price-trained Dubleanny (Dubleo - Uncanny Lady, by Canny Lad) proved her straight track capabilities with a win in the Auckland Racing Club Handicap (1200m) at Flemington. The win was the seventh of the four-year-old’s career and her fifth on the Flemington ‘Straight Six’ course.

 Dubleanny carried the famous green and white colours of Vinery Stud to victory in the $75,000 race.
