Is This Season a Record Breaker?

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday July 4

We’re in the final month of the Australian racing season and the same two stallions that ran the quinella last year are on track to repeat the effort this year, but is it a record breaking season?

I Am Invincible has been setting a brisk pace and holds a comfortable margin over So You Think and leads by winners, wins, earnings and stakes-winners.

I Am Invincible claimed his first ever Champion Sire Title last year with 185 winners of 314 races with 17 stakes-winners of 25 stakes races and total earnings of $19.8million.

This year he has already surpassed last year's earnings and equalled that total of 185 winners, so can now chase his own Australian record for winners which he set in 2021 when siring 208 winners of 335 races.

Yarraman Parks champion sire I Am Invincible is enjoying another great season.

I Am Invincible has sired 22 Australian stakes-winners this season which seems a lot, but does fall short of his amazing 28 Aussie stakes-winners (RECORD) which he posted in the 2018/2019 season and still finished second that year on earnings to Snitzel, who took the title with $24.2million.

Snitzel holds the RECORD for seasonal earnings in Australia siring the winners of $29.2million in 2017/2018 (26 stakes-winners) with I Am Invincible a distant second on $15.9million with 19 stakes-winners.

In the two years Snitzel set his massive prizemoney totals he had Everest winner Redzel as his ace in the pack and for any sire seeking to challenge his prizemoney record they will also need an Everest or Golden Eagle winner to do it.
