Dazzling Debut Winner for I Am Invincible

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday June 7

Yarraman Park’s champion sire I Am Invincible produced a dazzling debut two year-old winner for Godolphin on Wednesday at Canterbury when Commemorative thrashed her rivals to win as she pleased.

A colossus in the yard, the James Cummings trained Commemorative was head and shoulders above her rivals in stature and also in ability as it turned out.

Ridden by James McDonald, she camped behind the leaders and after shouldering her way into the clear proceeded to gallop away and win the 1100m maiden  by five lengths.

Commemorative is bred in the purple and a spring campaign is the obvious goal.

“She’s very nice and gave me a great feel and she really only worked it out the last 20m,” said McDonald.

“She oozes quality, just a lovely filly. She’ll be in the big races this spring.”

Stable representative Darren Beadman was excited by the performance and looking forward to the future.

“She got into her gears lovely and extended in fine fashion,” he said.

“Her mum Memorial (out of Mnemosyne), she was a very well bred filly that won her first two races at two, so this filly has also been precocious enough to win at two, but the team will treat her with kid gloves and they have given her plenty of time to grow into herself, so springtime is going to look promising.”

Commemorative is the third winner from four foals to race from Street Cry (IRE) mare Memorial, who was second in the Group II ATC Silver Slipper.

Memorial is a real Godolphin blueblood being a half-sister to Group I winner Impending, Group III winner Forget, stakes-winner Epidemic and to the dam of Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Lyre from dual Group I winning filly Mnemosyne.

I Am Invincible has 100% success with daughters of Street Cry (IRE)!

The I Am Invincible x Street Cry nick has 100% success with nine winners from nine runners and it’s hard not to think Commemorative won’t join the two stakes-winners already bred this way in Shuffle Dancer and Waltz On By.
