First to 100

Tara Madgwick - Sunday December 6

As predicted by Breednet last Friday, one of our two current big gun sires was going to hit the 100 winners for the season milestone over the weekend and he did it with a treble of winners on Sunday.

I Am Invincible is the first stallion this season to hit 100 winners!

Yarraman Park’s I Am Invincible got to 99 winners at Hawkesbury with Hurt Money (read about him here) and then kicked the winning goal with four year-old gelding Awesome Lad, who saluted at his first start for new trainer Jason Deamer.


Awesome Lad had a win and a third placing from his three previous starts earlier in the year for previous trainer Kris Lees and was well fancied in the Benchmark 64 event over 1300m, scoring by half a length.

Awesome Lad runs in the Dynamic Syndications colours and was bred by Gooree Park Stud, who will offer his yearling half-brother at the 2020 Magic Millions as Lot 766.

The Written Tycoon colt is the fourth foal of stakes-winning Street Sense mare Sensible Lady (USA).

I Am Invincible has racked up his 100 winners from 230 runners, his winner to runners strike rate of 43.5% the best of any stallion with 50 or more winners by quite a margin.
