We Have A New Leader

Mark Smith - Sunday May 22

We have a new leader, and no, we are not talking about Anthony Albanese.

The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained Lombardo became a surprise hero for I Am Invincible, who reclaimed the top spot in the race for champion sire.

Following Lombardo’s triumph in the $500,000 Group 1 The Furphy Goodwood at Morphettville and the return to form of the Chris Waller-trained filly Kir Royale at Flemington, I Am Invincible put $200,000 breathing space over So You Think.

Snitzel still leads the way for the number of individual stakes winners (16) from I Am Invincible (14).

There is still plenty to play for this week with the big Doomben Cup meeting transferred to Wednesday.

Blue Light Enhances Breeding Success
For successful breeding outcomes, timing is everything. The horse’s natural reproductive period coincides with the light-filled days of summer. As seasonal breeders, the naturally lengthening days of spring suppress melatonin and in turn stimulate reproductive hormones that maximise fertility for both mares and stallions.
