One to Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday June 28

A $1.2million Inglis Easter purchase, the first foal of Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Catchy opened her account at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

A three year-old I Am Invincible filly trained by Chris Waller, Dakota Vroom was having just her second race start following a debut second earlier this year when she bumped into subsequent Group III winning Godolphin filly Parsifal in a fillies maiden at Randwick.

Stepped straight up into a Benchmark 64 event over 1100m for her return, Dakota Vroom was taking on some promising fillies that had all won races, bus she showed her class for Kerrin McEvoy to forge clear and win by a length and a half.

Bred by Dorrington Farm’s Robert Crabtree, who also raced her mother Catchy, Dakota Vroom was snapped up by Waller Racing/ Hermitage Thoroughbreds for $1.2million from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft at Inglis Easter.

Dakota Vroom made $1.2million at Inglis Easter.

She is the first foal from Fastnet Rock’s $1.9million earner Catchy, whose second foal is a Zoustar two year-old filly called Floozie that was retained and is in work with the Price and Kent training partnership.

Catchy has a yearling filly by Too Darn Hot (GB) that sold this year for $550,000 at Inglis Easter to Anthony Cummings and after missing to Extreme Choice is in foal to Champion European 2YO Colt Pinatubo (IRE).

Standing at a fee of $302,500 at Yarraman Park this spring, I Am Invincible is tracking towards 200 winners for the season with earnings topping $21million and 22 Aussie stakes-winners to his credit.
