Recent Vinery Stud Stakes Winners

Keep an eye on this race for the rest of the year as it can be a bloody good form guide, as in 2024 the Vinery Stud Stakes form was franked as the winner Orchestral came third in the Australian Oaks, while the third placed finisher Zardozi was runner-up in the Oaks before then running fourth in the Melbourne Cup. Other recent notable winners have been Fangirl in 2022 and in 2019 it was won by Verry Elleegant.

Latest Odds and 

With rain forecast at Rosehill it is worth keeping an eye out for runners who have a liking to get their toes into the ground. That said Treasure the Moment is a very short-priced favourite at about $1.70 and is likely to be very hard to beat. The only two other runners in single figures are Movin Out and Declichy Boulevard both of which are about $7.

Tips for the Vinery Stud Stakes 2025

The Pickabookie.com.au for selection for the race is Powers of Opal trained by John Sargent at about $20. The three-year-old filly has shown signs that getting out to a trip again in this campaign would be more to her liking and whilst she has only had one win from ten starts this could be a turning point in her career. She has twice finish second to Treasure The Moment and so the odds of $3.50 to place looks far better value then backing the favourite in what could be testing conditions.
