I Am Invincible - New Winner

There was an overload of racing right around the country on New Year’s Day and rightly so given our national interest in horse racing as a sport to be enjoyed over the holiday break and there was a winner that did catch my eye, but until now have not had a chance to put my thoughts into a story.

Making his third race day appearance off the back of a pleasing second last time out, 3yo colt Sixties highlighted his potential class with the Chris Waller trained brother to multiple Group 1 winner Artorius pulling clear by more than seven lengths!

With six last-start winners, Saturday’s Ranvet Hcp at Randwick has, remarkably for a mid-winter event, brought together an exciting field of 2-year-olds and a stiff initiation for the lone unraced horse in the race,  Qatars Choice.

Kingman’s champion Group I winning son Palace Pier (GB) only shuttled to Darley Australia for one year and will have his first runners this season with his first Northern Hemisphere stakes-winner arriving overnight when Morris Dancer win the Listed Stonehenge Stakes (1m) at Salisbury.

Widden Stud’s new recruit Cogburn has arrived in the Hunter Valley with Widden producing vision of his arrival and first parades.

A date with well credentialled new stallion More Than Looks awaits today’s Inglis Digital August (Early) sale-topper Cleo Cat, which sold to Yulong for $355,000.

Both the pedigree and the racetrack performances of Manifique (NZ) (Savabeel) make her a major drawcard in the latest fortnightly auction on gavelhouse.com.

Who are we highlighting this week? - Analysis of the G1 winning 3YO’s for last season has made us realise how many horses on this list took giant strides from two to three, so we are looking into the crystal ball to find some juveniles we believe could end this season as G1 performers if not G1 winners.

Here is the full list of 47 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

A nomination in Champion First and Second Season Sire Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) – the last available nomination to be offered before the breeding season starts - will be offered in the Inglis Digital August (Late) Online Sale.
