Mark Smith - Saturday February 24

Spendthrift Farm's I Am Invincible colt Overshare held the challenge of his Hawkes Racing stablemate Wild Heart to claim Saturday's Group III Zeditave Stakes at Caulfield.

Ben Mellham on third placegetter Streets Of Avalon lodged a protest against the first two, which was dismissed.


Winner of the Listed McKenzie Stakes at Moonee Valley back in August last year, Overshare advances his record to 3 wins and 1 second from 9 starts with earnings of $246,450.

A $320,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Spendthrift Australia from the Victoria Park draft, Overshare is the first winner for Group III placed Redoute's Choice mare Savannah's Choice, who is a half-sister to Champion Japanese 3YO Filly Cesario, the dam of Japan Cup winner Epiphania and the 2015 Champion 2YO Japanese Colt Leontes.

Savannah's Choice produced a colt by More Than Ready (USA) last spring and was bred back to Golden Slipper winner Capitalist.

I Am Invincible has 14 lots catalogued for the Inglis Premier and 41 heading to the Easter Yearling Sale.
