The Seeds of Global Success

Tara Madgwick - Monday July 27

This highly successful young sire has had five winners from six runners in an Asian country seen as a very valuable marketplace for Australian breeders.

We all know how successful I Am Invincible has been in Australia this season with 55% winners to runners, progeny earnings topping $4million and star stakes-winners Brazen Beau, Look to the Stars and Illustrious Lad, but in Singapore his statistics have been even better.

I Am Invincible

From six runners, I Am Invincible has left five winners of 11 races, with his only runner not to win being lightly raced three year-old Anonymous, who finished second at his third start with a win probably not far off.

His Singapore progeny are headed by unbeaten juvenile Super One, who has blitzed his juvenile rivals to win four from four highlighted by brilliant victories in the Aushorse Golden Horseshoe Sng Gr 2 and Juvenile Championship Sng Gr 3 last Sunday.

The Asian market is an important one for any sire and while I Am Invincible is yet to have a runner in Hong Kong, his performance in Singapore would have to be a good indication that his stock can cope with the stresses and environmental challenges faced by horses sold to compete in these regions.

I Am Invincible's Group III winning juvenile of last season in New Zealand, Vinnie Eagle, has been sold to Hong Kong and will be one to watch up there next season. Renamed Massive Millennium, he will be trained by David Ferraris.
