Seven MM Weanling Stars for Vinery!

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 19

Vinery Stud will offer seven quality youngsters at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale (May 26,27) and they include one of only two fillies in the sale by I Am Invincible, plus the first foal of young I Am Invincible stakes-winner Fake Love and a colt from the family of $9.8million earner Bella Nipotina.

Vinery will be looking to get the sale started on a high when they offer Lot 3, an I Am Invincible filly from well bred mare Ahbelle, a winning half-sister to Group winners Santos, Melagrana and to the dam of Group III winner Sebonack.

Lot 3 - I Am Invincible filly from Ahbelle.

It’s an old family that has been nurtured by Emirates Park with great success to produce Group I winner Fat Al and Group winners like Adeewin and Mutawaajid with I Am Invincible likely to be the catalyst for a fresh burst of Black Type!

I Am Invincible mares are increasingly making their presence felt at stud with his daughters producing five stakes-winners this season including Group II winners Kimochi, Asfoora and Straight Charge.

Lot 86 is a Toronado (IRE) colt, the first foal of young I Am Invincible juvenile stakes-winner Fake Love.

Fake Love won the Listed MRC Debutant Stakes in the spring and is from Group I placed stakes-winner Anatina, who comes from a real running and winning speed family featuring Group II winner Quackerjack and stakes-winner Sugar Boom.

Lot 201 is an Ole Kirk colt from placed Lonhro mare Mooinooi, a half-sister to Group I winner In Top Swing and to the grand-dam of $9.8million earning sprinter Bella Nipotina, who won last Saturday’s Group I BRC Doomben 10,000 to claim her second G1 victory.

It’s a top class family bristling with Group winners Hallowell Belle, Fuddle Dee Duddle and Brereton, so this colt will tick all the boxes.

The rest of the draft is as follows:

Lot 18 Colt Wootton Bassett (GB) x Another Charm (IRE), by Galileo

From second Australian crop of proven Group I sire Wootton Bassett and is third foal of an unraced sister to Group II winner Sword Fighter.

Lot 100 Filly Dundeel x Fursa, by Hard Spun (USA)

By outstanding Group I sire Dundeel. Half-sister to stakes-placed Get Up Girl from Group II winning sprinter Fursa, a grand-daughter of Group III winner Princess Plume.

Lot 216 Colt Star Turn x Open All Hours, by Wanted

By Star Turn, who runs at 73% winners to runners and is from a winning half-sister to Group I winner Jymcarew and to the dam of triple Group I winning $4.8million earner Jameka and Group II winner Grandslam.

Lot 217 Filly Home Affairs x Orchidia (IRE), by Bated Breath
