Unbeaten two-year-old colt Vinrock - the first Australian Group 1-winning juvenile by the nation’s reigning premier sire I Am Invincible - is the latest stallion prospect to join the ownership ranks of Yulong.
General manager Jun Zhang confirmed on Monday that the Matt Laurie-trained colt, who won the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes at Randwick on April 5, had been purchased by Yulong founder Zhang Yuesheng.
Vinrock, who won his two Victorian starts, including the Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes with authority, was being touted by Laurie as a Champagne Stakes contender at Randwick this Saturday in the aftermath of the colt’s breakthrough Group 1 victory earlier this month.
However, as stud interest in Vinrock intensified, Laurie took the conservative and understandable option to spell the Rosemont Stud-bred two-year-old rather than give him a fourth start in his maiden racing campaign.
