Yulong have added unbeaten two-year-old colt Vinrock (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) to their collection of outstanding bloodstock, with the purchase confirmed on Monday. Winner of all his three starts, including a historic G2 VRC Sires' Produce and G1 Sires' Produce Stakes double, the colt will stay with trainer Matt Laurie.
“We are extremely excited about the acquisition of Vinrock,” said Yulong's racing manager Troy Stephens. “He's an unbeaten two-year-old, the first Australian Group 1 winner [juvenile] for his champion sire I Am Invincible, and the first horse since 1981 to capture the VRC/ATC Sires' double, giving him an impressive CV. We have a great association with Matt and Kate and we are very happy we can continue this off the back of a tremendous season with Treasurethe Moment [winner of the G1 Vinery Stud Stakes and G1 Australian Oaks].”
Laurie added, “Yulong have been great to me and we have already enjoyed huge success on the racecourse together with Treasurethe Moment. I'm delighted with their purchase of Vinrock. He's a ripping colt and we're looking forward to an exciting spring.”
