The much anticipated Vinery Stud Dispersal produced stellar results today when three mares - Mannington, Snowdrift (Fr) and In the Past (GB) - smashed the previous record price for a broodmare sold at public auction in Australasia, established by former champion two year old Burst, which made $900,000 at the Newhaven Park Stud Dispersal in 1996.

An action packed weekend of racing in both Sydney and Melbourne will see a number of horses competing whose achievements will have significance for the upcoming Vinery Dispersal (Newmarket, Sunday April 3 rd).
