She showed nice ability in her jump outs and gave Damien Lane an easy steer as she quickly found the front and shook off all challengers to win by nearly three lengths over the Zousain filly Zouclaire.

“She’s very natural and very quick and just doing it on raw ability, so she should take good benefit from today the experience and hopefully that really brings her on,” said Damien Lane.

Invincible Woman runs for an all ladies syndicate and the Gold Coast is the immediate goal although by no means the only goal for a filly with a big future.

“Lloyd had some all-women’s syndicates in the past without much luck. I said you’ve got to go again and spend a bit more now you’ve got a female co-trainer and now she looks a steal,” said Lucy Yeomans.

“She was actually passed in and then we went back to her. Physically, she wasn’t quite ready. She was broken-in at Hinterland and they do a fantastic job with their horses.

“We’ll be guided by her. We don’t think she’s just a two-year-old. She has a bright future, so we won’t force the issue.”

Invincible Woman was a $250,000 MM purchase from Widden Stud.

Invincible Woman is the third winner from stakes-placed Big Brown (USA) mare Showcase, a half-sister to Group III winner Disposition and grand-daughter of Group I winner Spectrum.

Showcase was bought in foal to I Am Invincible at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in 2022 for $250,000 by Killora Stud and then sold again this year for $45,000 to The Officiating Syndicate and produced a colt by In the Congo for her new owners.
