Free TrueNicks are now available on Vinery’s three newest stallions, Pioneerof the Nile (TrueNicks,SRO), Kodiak Kowboy (TrueNicks,SRO) and Maimonides (TrueNicks,SRO), courtesy of the farm.
Pioneerof the Nile won the grade I CashCall Futurity last year at 2 and also took this year’s Santa Anita Derby (gr. I), before his game second in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). The son of leading third crop sire Empire Maker is out of the stakes winning Lord at War (Arg) mare Star of Goshen.
Kodiak Kowboy recently collected his second grade I trophy in the Vosburgh S. at Belmont Park. An earner of over $1.4 million, Kodiak Kowboy is the leading earner sired by another Vinery stallion Posse, the leading first crop sire of 2007.
$4.6 million yearling Maimonides will join Vinery’s Florida roster. Grade I placed at two, the grandson of Seattle Slew is a half brother to El Corredor, the #2 first crop sire of 2005 and Roman Ruler, who currently ranks #1 on this year’s first crop standings.
