In a significant expansion, Vinery New York is bringing top second-crop sire Bluegrass Cat to New York in a partnership with WinStar Farm. As part of a reorganization, the Vinery New York stallions will be based at Sugar Maple Farm in Poughquag and will be joined for 2012 by newcomer Giant Surprise. By Storm Cat out the A.P.

At three, the filly finished third in the Central Bank Ashland Stakes (G1). “We identified Bluegrass Cat as a top stallion and approached WinStar with the idea of partnering. We wanted to give the New York breeders another reason to stay home, and have the type of stallion that breeders will follow,” Vinery President Tom Ludt said. “At only eight years old, Bluegrass Cat has it all—race record, BLUEGRASS CAT looks, and one of the best pedigrees in the stud book.

The Vosburgh was to be his eighth start of the year, with the five-race winning streak preceded by two unplaced finishes at to open the year. Trainer Bisnath Parboo, the owner’s father, said Giant Ryan needed a break after the grueling schedule, which included wins in the restricted Hamlet Stakes at Aqueduct on April 6, an optional-claimer at Belmont on May 4, and the open Ponche Handicap at Calder, his home track, on June 11, followed by the Smile. Another factor certainly was the competition. Giant Ryan had won the six-furlong Smile by a neck in 1:11.34 on Calder’s main track and had not generated an especially impressive speed figure. In the Vosburgh, he was facing opponents who had posted fast speed numbers in their previous starts. Favored at 1.05-to-1 was Mill House’s Trappe Shot, who had been beaten a nose in Saratoga Race Course’s Alfred G.
