First Win for Converge Half-Brother

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 2

The most expensive yearling by Invader sold in 2022, Coincide opened his account at Randwick on Wednesday for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable.

A half-brother to dual Group I winner Converge, who was also trained by Waterhouse and Bott, Coincide showed good ability in his first preparation with placings behind quality colts Barber and Don Corleone before he finished last in the Inglis Millennium and was subsequently spelled and gelded.

He took good benefit from his first up run when third at Warwick Farm last month and gave Adam Hyernonimus an easy ride in the 1100m maiden today, leading all the way to win by two lengths over his stakes-placed stablemate Summer Loving, who will not stay winless for much longer.

“He’s shown some good form around some very good horses, but was just a bit inconsistent previously, but now as a gelding and with a gear change today (crossover noseband) he’s been able to put it altogether,” said Adrian Bott, who indicated Coincide would be aimed up at better race with that win on the board.

$320,000 Inglis Easter purchase, Coincide was the most expensive yearling for his sire in 2022.

A $320,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds from the Evergreen Stud Farm draft, Coincide has a win and three placings from six starts with prizemoney topping $81,000.

He is the second winner from Conversely (IRE), a placed Shamardal mare from Group III winner Melhor Ainda.

Coincide looks a bright prospect for Aquis based Invader, a Group I winning son of champion sire Snitzel that is also a Group I producing sire having left the brilliant filly Sunshine in Paris, winner of the Group I ATC Surround Stakes at just her fifth race start beating Group I winners Ruthless Dame and In Secret.

Sunshine in Paris was sold at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale this year for $3.9million to James Harron Bloodstock and is back in work with Annabel Neasham.

Invader stands at a fee of $11,000.
