Owner/ breeder Mark Minuzzo sent us this image of his Keano colt from All Force
back in spring 2013 and on Saturday he won his first metropolitan race when
scoring at Morphettville for the Leah Conlon stable.It was the second win for Vieira, who has also been placed three times from eight starts earning nearly $50,000 in prizemoney.
It has not been plain sailing for the gelding, whose owners have required plenty of patience as he overcame injury.
"Vieira has always shown ability, but had double knee surgery last November, so we'd like to thank Dr Darren Arnold and also Adelaide Hills Horse Agistment ( Charmae Bell) for their professionalism and care in Vieira s recovery," said Mark Minuzzo.
Sadly for Mr Minuzzo, All Force died last year, but she has a three year-old Ambidexter filly to go on with.
