Seven for Pluck

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday July 5

Vinery stallion Pluck (USA) sired his 7th first-crop winner with Happy Go Plucky at Cessnock's Jungle Juice Cup meeting on Tuesday.

Pluck The Allan Denham trained youngster settled midfield second-up on a Heavy 8 and then found a split at the top of the straight to hold out And There Is More (Mossman) in the Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism 2YO Hcp (1150m).

Happy Go Plucky went out at double-figure odds after struggling on a bottomless track at Muswellbrook last month.

"That was a big improvement on his debut run," jockey Robert Thompson said. "He goes all right and might have a nice future."

Happy Go Plucky (2g Pluck - Dirty by Hussonet) was bred by Vinery partner Greg Perry from Dirty, winner of Listed Vo Rogue Plate at Doomben. The gelding is a half-brother to minor winners by Northern Meteor and. Congrats.

"I didn't think he was ready today so it was a good win," Denham admitted.

"The owners are friends of mine from Queensland and they backed him each-way. He's still immature and I will probably send him out for a spell now."

Pluck (USA), an exceptionally fast 2yo over the mile is a permanent resident at Vinery and stands alongside his sire More Than Ready for a $9,900. (inc gst) service fee.
