Lot 931 - yearling, click to see his page.

Lot 931 is an I Am Invincible colt to be offered by Kaha Nui Farm that was sourced from Inglis Australian Weanling Sale for $575,000 from the draft of Alma Vale/Kitchwin Hills Partnership making him the top lot at that sale and the highest priced pinhook of this sale.

The I Am Invincible colt from Shoko topped the Inglis Australian Weanling sale.

A three-quarter brother-in-blood to Group III winner Barbaric, he is the second living foal of Group III winner Shoko, a half-sister to Group II winner and MM 2YO Classic winner Mimi LeBrock and Group III winner Heavenly Thought.

Super interesting filly to be offered as Lot 101 by Silverdale Farm.

Lot 101 - yearling, click to see her page.

By Home Affairs, she is the second foal of Group III placed Exceed and Excel mare Witherspoon, a half-sister to Group I winner Manuel and Group III winners Sun Patch and Taking Aim. She was purchased as a weanling from Newgate Farm for $430,000 at MM National last year and her dam was also sold at the same sale for $1.2million to David Revders/ Widden Stud.

The Witherspoon filly was the highest priced weanling from the first crop of Home Affairs.

She produced a colt for her new owners by I Am Invincible and was then covered by Zoustar, so there is plenty of upside for this filly, who also has a two year-old half-brother by Zoustar called Wembley Stadium that made $400,000 at this sale last year and is trained by Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald.

Another high profile Home Affairs pinhook will be offered by Riverstone Lodge as Lot 514.

The Home Affairs colt from Inthemidstofbiz (USA) was the highest priced weanling colt for his sire.
