Exceedance Pair and Strait Acer Half-Sister Highlight Vinery Weanlings

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 2

Vinery Stud will present a select draft of four for the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale next week and they include two by the farm’s promising young sire Exceedance, not to mention the half-sister to $1.3million earner Strait Acer.

A Group I winning son of Exceed and Excel, Exceedance has made a great start to his stud career with four winners and three more place-getters headed by dual Group winning colt Dublin Down and Group III placed filly Flyer.

Lot 105 Colt Exceedance x Mystic Moon, by Magnus

Third foal of a five time metro winning half-sister to stakes-winner Glows, the dam of Group II winner Thermosphere.

Lot 125 Filly Exceedance x Our Annamaria, by Lope de Vega (IRE)

Third foal of a placed half-sister to stakes-placed Titan Blinders, a winner of nearly $600,000 in prizemoney from the family of Group winners Danroad, Strawberry Boy and stakes-winners Tippitaka and Newtown Jet.

Rounding out the draft are youngsters by Captivant and Zousain.

Lot 21 Colt Captivant x Jill (NZ), by Tivaci

From the first crop of Group I ATC Champagne Stakes winner Captivant and is the first foal of a half-sister to stakes-winners Lord Turbo and Alcaldesa, plus stakes-placed Rapid Falls.

Lot 94 Filly Zousain x Money Wanted, by Wanted

From the third crop of promising sire Zousain, who has left seven winners highlighted by Group III winner Drifting. This athletic filly is a half-sister to highly talented sprinter Strait Acer, an earner of over $1.3million in prizemoney, who was also third in the Group I MRC Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

The grand-dam of this filly is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Group winner Piccadilly Circus, the dam of champion sire Fastnet Rock, so she comes with plenty of pedigree and the promise of more to come.

She has an important pedigree update as her two year-old half-sister Fourandahalf (Charge Forward) won on debut at the Sunshine Coast for the David Vandyke stable on April 14. There are also a couple of new stakes placed juveniles in the family in Anode and Earthstorm.
