Breakthrough Win for Invincible 3YO Brings Sale Update

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 2

The opening race at Rosehill on Wednesday provided the perfect opportunity for promising I Am Invincible gelding The Three Hundred to break the ice bringing a timely pedigree update for his two year-old full brother that will be offered at the NZB Ready to run Sale next month.

Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, The Three Hundred was considered good enough to contest a couple of stakes  races last autumn as a juvenile and with the benefit of a first up run under his belt was fit and ready to fire in the 1400m maiden.

He was quick to begin for Tim Clark and led all the way to kick on and win by the best part of a length.

“He’s a tough customer and a nice type,” said stable representative Neil Paine.

“Tim rode him a treat and ran them along, so it was a terrific win. Gai and Adrian have always thought he had nice ability.”

The Three Hundred was a $400,000 Magic Millions purchase.

A $400,000 Magic Millions purchase from Yarraman Park for Trilogy Racing Pty Ltd/Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing, The Three Hundred carries the Trilogy Racing colours.

Bred by Allam Racing, who retain a share in his ownership, The Three Hundred is the second winner from stakes-winning Smart Missile mare Sassy ‘n’ Smart, a half-sister to Group III winner Mallory from a top class European female family.

Lyndhurst Farm will offer the two year-old full brother to The Three Hundred at NZB Ready to Run as Lot 158.

Sassy ‘n’ Smart has a yearling filly by Extreme Choice and was covered last spring by Home Affairs.
