Deserved Stakes Success for Muntaseera

Tara Madgwick - Saturday April 17

I Am Invincible filly Muntaseera has been threatening to win a stakes race since finishing second in the Group III VRC Ottawa Stakes as a spring two year-old and finally got the job done in Adelaide on Saturday when taking out the Listed SAJC Redelva Stakes (1100m).

Trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, Muntaseera was having her third run back from a spell and charged home with a late rush before holding off all challengers to win by a long neck.
 


Muntase

era has the overall record of three wins and five placings from 13 starts with prizemoney
Just shy of $450,000.

A homebred for Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Muntaseera is the best of two winners from Moosirra, an unraced sister to Group I winner Musir and half-sister to Group winners Merhee and Moofeed.

Moosirra produced a full sister to Muntaseera last spring and is now in foal to American Pharoah (USA).

The current yearling from Moosirra is a Pride of Dubai filly that was sold at Magic Millions this year by Segenhoe for $200,000.

I Am Invincible

Muntaseera is the 64th stakes-winner for I Am Invincible and is his 12th Australian stakes-winner this season.
