The resilient gelding Vinco started 31 times before he won his first stakes in the listed Spear Chief Stakes at 7 1/2 furlongs at Eagle Farm Racecourse in Australia on June 4. The win equaled the longest victory of his career, but was arguably not at his best distance. Vinco has won six races at distances of 6 1/2 to seven furlongs, making Saturday’s $140,900 Eye Liner Stakes at 6 3/4 furlongs at Ipswich Racecourse appear to be an ideal trip.
