The Group II ATC Furious Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday featured a cracking field of fillies and Yarraman Park sires produced the quinella with Tiz Invincible taking the win from Brave Smash (Jpn) filly Kimochi.
Trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, Tiz Invincible kicked off her spring campaign beating the colts in the Listed ATC Rosebud and took another step forward with this victory.
Ridden a treat by Zac Lloyd, Tiz Invincible she surged to the line to beat Kimochi by three-quarters of a length taking her overall record to two wins and a second from four starts with prizemoney just topping $500,000.
“She’s very good and keeps coming on with each start,” said Ciaron Maher.
“I thought Zac rode her very well, he’s only been on her once in trackwork and it was a very cool ride from him, the horse was great and the team have done a super job.
“I think she’ll get out to a mile as the best part of her race is the last bit and she’s strong through the line.”
Tiz Invincible is likely to go to the remaining two legs of the Darley Princess Series, the Group II ATC Tea Rose stakes (1500m) and Group I ATC Flight Stakes (1600m).
Bred by Phoenix Thoroughbreds, Tiz Invincible was a $550,000 purchase for Bahen Bloodstock / Ciaron Maher Racing / Eric Lucas / Astute Bloodstock from the Segenhoe Stud draft at the 2022 Inglis Australian Easter Sale.
She is the second foal of Amuletum (GB), a winning half-sister by New Approach to 9-time Group I winner Anamoe from the Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks winner Anamato.
Amuletum has a two year -old colt by Pierata that sold for $200,000 at Magic Millions and has a yearling colt to follow by I Am Invincible. She was covered last spring by one time shuttler Aclaim(IRE).
I Am Invincible has a great record in the Group II ATC Furious Stakes with Tiz Invincible joining his past winners Dame Giselle, Libertini and Pure Elation.
