Speculating on the progeny of first season sires can hold tremendous upside if you choose wisely… wouldn't we all love to have bought an I Am Invincible when his progeny first appeared at the Gold Coast in 2013.
They averaged just $81,667 and then at this sale in 2017, I Am Invincible averaged $318,205, quite a spectacular jump in price over five years!
When a stallion hits the big time, he brings all his supporters along for the ride so getting in on the ground floor is often a game changer.
The first season horses for buyers to consider this year are a diverse group
ranging from a Cox Plate winner in Adelaide (IRE) to Australian Horse of the Year
Dissident as well as Champion 3YO Colt Brazen Beau, Group I VRC Australian
Guineas winner Wandjina, Group I ATC Randwick Guineas and Golden Rose winner
Hallowed Crown, Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas winner Shooting to Win, Champion
European Milers Olympic Glory (IRE), Charm Spirit (IRE) and Toronado (IRE) and
Invincible Spirit's flashy grey son Zebedee (IGB), already a stakes producing
sire in Europe.As we have seen in the past with I Am Invincible, a Group I sire does not necessarily have to have a Group I win on his resume and horses like Deep Field, Rubick, Better Than Ready and Time for War all have good numbers, particularly Deep Field, who has more entries in this sale than any other stallion!
History shows us that one or more stallions from this group will emerge as big winners, the question is who?
