Yarraman Park’s powerhouse stallion I Am Invincible made it back to back Champion Australian Sire titles finishing with 202 winners of $23.4 million highlighted by 22 stakes-winners, but who are his new stars going forward?
I Am Invincible led by winners, wins, stakes-winners and earnings, dominating his peers with another resoundingly successful season, his second in the past three years to top 200 winners.
He had 20 two year-old winners, six of them stakes-winners, 74 three year-old winners, six of them also stakes-winners and 54 four year-old winners, five of them stakes-winners, with his overall tally highlighted by multiple Group I winners In Secret and Imperatriz, who will both race on this year.
We know about his star performers this season, but who are the I Am Invincible horses to watch going forward?
Hawaii Five Oh really hit his straps in the latter part of the season and it’s hard not to think Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott won’t get a G1 win with him this season following his game third in the Group I BRC Stradbroke Handicap.
The Peter and Paul Snowden trained colt King’s Gambit was his own worst enemy at times in the autumn, but ability was never the issue and the Golden Slipper place-getter could blow all the colts out of the water if he makes a good transition to his three year-old season.
The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace trained filly Tiz Invincible is a maiden after two starts, but won’t stay one for long. Last seen finishing second in the Group II ATC Percy Sykes Stakes on a heavy track, she might have a lot more to offer on top of the ground.
Hard not to be taken with $1million colt Caballus, who opened his account for the Chris Waller stable in a very strong juvenile race last Saturday. Looks to have the right attitude and might be ready to progress quickly this spring.
