Champion filly Turbulent Descent completed a weekend to remember for Vinery shuttler Congrats.

Appearing for the first time this year, Turbulent Descent overhauled pacesetter Izzy Rules to score a convincing victory in the LR Desert Stormer Hcp (1200m) at Hollywood Park on Sunday.

Turbulent Descent (4f Congrats – Roger’s Sue by Forestry) was making her first start since last December and the first-up victory improved her record to 7 wins in 11 starts for over $900,000 in prizemoney.

“She’s a brilliant filly and David (Flores) got her settled for a perfect trip,” trainer Mike Puype said.  “Her campaign in 2011 took its toll with four travel trips so it’s good to see her back in form.”

Turbulent Descent is a G1 winner of the Hollywood Starlet, Santa Anita Oaks and Saratoga Test Stakes but finished last year with unplaced runs in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at Churchill Downs after a murderous trip and the G1 La Brea Stakes at Santa Anita on New Year’s Eve.

Turbulent Descent will now be set for the G2 A Gleam Hcp (1400m) back at Hollywood Park in July.

Vinery shuttler Congrats sired his 100th individual winner when Sibonet scored at Woodbine on Saturday.  Threehifives made 101 in a Calder maiden on Sunday.

Congrats (A P Indy) returns to Vinery for his second southern season at a $22,000 (inc gst) service fee in 2012.
