Invincible Tassie Sprint Star

Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 22
Talented Tasmanian trained sprinter I'm Wesley made it back to back wins in the $100,000 Listed Launceston Newmarket Handicap on Wednesday evening giving his sire I Am Invincible his 15th stakes-winner of the season, that's seven more than the next best sire High Chaparral (IRE)!.

Below is the list of leading sires with four or more stakes-winners.



Prepared by Glenn Stevenson, I'm Wesley was returning to Tasmania after three runs in Melbourne during the Spring Carnival with his best effort there a close fourth beaten less than a length in the Group II VRC Bobbie Lewis won by Dothraki.

I Am InvincibleWinner of the Launceston Newmarket last year, I'm Wesley appreciated being back on home ground and led all the way under 59.5 kg to win the 1200 metre sprint by a length and a quarter as favourite.

I'm Wesley has the overall record of 12 wins and 10 placings from 34 starts with prizemoney just shy of $400,000.

An $8,000 Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale purchase for his trainer from the Shadwell Farm draft, I'm Wesley is the best of three winners from Daniela, a minor winning Danehill grand-daughter of US Group I winner Some Romance.


Daniela has foaled this spring producing a colt by War and has been covered by Spendthrift Farm’s young I Am Invincible stallion Overshare so will produce a three-quarter sibling to I’m Wesley next spring.


I'm Wesley is one of 39 stakes-winners for I Am Invincible, who stands at Yarraman Park at a fee of $192,500.
