I Am Invincible's Immortality Breaks the Ice - Half-Sister at National Broodmare Sale

Mark Smith - Friday May 19

Shortly after celebrating the win of the Frankel filly Frankly Elegant, the Price/Kent Jnr team were toasting the hugely impressive victory of the I Am Invincible gelding Immortality in the McCartney Real Estate Maiden (1200m) at Geelong.

Sent off an odd-on favourite under Craig Williams following a close-up fifth in the Listed Debutant Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield last October at his career debut, Immortality overcame a torrid run.

Caught three deep facing the breeze the trip, Immortality won under a hand ride, defeating the Reward For effort filly Giant's Reward by three and a quarter lengths, with the Rich Enuff gelding Lolly Money three-quarters of a length back in third.

Williams said the stable holds the son of I Am Invincible in high regard.

"He is a lovely horse, and they think a lot of him," Williams said.

"He is very well bred; he's been gelded and has been off the scene for a long time. 

"They picked the right race – they are thinking of his future. He's a nice horse with good ability, and if he stays sound, he will be an exciting horse.

"I was three wide, but it didn't bother me in a maiden; he is better than them, which we saw."

The daughter of Hussonet (USA) was a 4-time winner highlighted by the Listed Lexus Plate at Flemington and was runner-up in the Group III Vo Rogue Plate and third in the Listed Mode Stakes.

It was a pleasing result for Yarraman Park, which consigns Immortality's half-sister Love To Dream (Written Tycoon) to the National Broodmare Sale (lot 988) with a November cover by Hellbent.   

Hijack Hussy was a $400,000 purchase for Neil Jenkinson/Glenlogan Park at the 2017 National Broodmare Sale, having been plucked out of the Magic Millions yearling Sale by Prime Thoroughbreds for $62,000.  

McEvoy Mitchell Racing / Belmont Bloodstock Agency (FBAA) shelled out $400,000 for a brother to Immortality at the 2022 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale. He has been named The Senate.

After missing in 2021, Hijack Hussy was covered by Zoustar last spring.
