Vinery Stud shuttler More Than Ready (Southern Halo-Woodman"s Girl, by Woodman) added a group success when 5YO mare Patronyme (More Than Ready-Descendant, by Zeditave) scored a half-length victory in the $125,000 Gr3 Birthday Card Stakes (1200m) for fillies & mares at Rosehill. Patronyme (ridden by Nash Rawiller for trainer Joseph Pride) defeated top-weighted 4YO mare Beaded (Lonhro-Subtle, by Night Shift) & favoured 3YO filly Melito (Redoute"s Choice-Cloister, by Marauding). Patronyme (a $70,000 yearling consigned by Kitchwin Hills at the 2006 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale) now has 6 wins (also including February"s Listed Triscay Stakes over 1200m at Rosehill) & 5 placings (including both 2009"s Listed Angst Stakes over 1400m at Randwick & Listed Patinack Farm Tibbie Stakes over 1400m at Newcastle) from 13 starts for $315,950 earnings.
