Blue Chip Investment

Tara Madgwick - Monday May 22

There is no better investment than purchasing a mare in foal to Australia’s champion sire I Am Invincible and there are five to be  offered at the Gold Coast this week.

Set to be crowned Australia’s champion sire again this season backing up from his first title last year, Yarraman Park’s flagship sire has had a fee rise this spring and will stand at $302,500.

I Am Invincible has soared to new heights this year with two months of the season still to run with 167 winners including 21 Australian stakes-winners and earnings of $19.7million which is only a whisker below his overall tally of $19.8million last year.

In the sale ring, he has also hit new benchmarks with his Magic Millions average (44 sold) climbing to $736,136 and at Inglis Easter (31 sold) his average was $788,871 with 17 yearlings selling for $1million or more and three selling for more than $2million.

The mares below are all in foal to I Am Invincible.
