Buy a share in VINMIX DE BESSY for £89

A tall, striking Grey, Vinmix de Bessy is the winner of over £65,000 in prize-money during his career, in which he has already won seven times, including twice in his native France.  In 2009, he won a class 3 handicap chase at Lingfield, and as recently as April 2010 he placed in handicap company at Grade 1 tracks Cheltenham and Sandown Park. 

An exciting jumper of fences, 'Vinny' goes on any ground, having won on everything from soft to good to firm, and he normally hits form straight after his summer break, as he isn't the type to require a couple of runs to hit full fitness.

Trainer Gary Moore had this to say in late July; "he has been out at grass for a couple of months, but is now back in training and we will look to have him back on the racecourse by September.  He is on a fair handicap mark over fences, and he's so consistent."

Shares are available in Vinmix de Bessy for just £89 until April 1st, 2011, giving the shareholder a full jumps season with a proven class act!

Breeding: 

Vinmix de Bessy is the second foal of Hesse, who placed several times on the flat in France at 3, herself out of a winning mare who placed at Group 3 level and is the dam of eight winners, including in Group company.  

'Vinny' is by the sire River Bay, a top-class performer in France and the USA whose career wins included the Group 2 Prix d'Harcourt at Longchamp, as well as Grade 1 victories in the USA, in the Hollywood Turf Cup and the Wittingham handicap.  He has sired plenty of winners both on the flat and over hurdles.

What distance should Vinmix de Bessy run over?

An out-and-out two mile chaser, with five wins over that distance, 'Vinny' can run over as far as 2m2f at a push, but is a class act over the minimum jumps trip, especially on soft ground.

Race plans

'Vinny' will be ready to run in September and will have a full jumps season through until the end of March, 2011. He is high enough in the weights to get in to some valuable chases and hopefully he can provide his shareholders with some winter cheer (and some prize-money too!) over the course of the 2010/2011 jumps season.
