Right Sires Make Yarraman Premier Draft a Winner

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Friday February 28

Yarraman Park have taken plenty of guesswork out of the equation with their Inglis Premier draft featuring 11 yearlings and every single one is by a serious top class Group I producing sire.

Click here for the full draft that includes four by Hellbent, three by Wootton Bassett (GB), two by I Am Invincible and one each by Dundeel and Maurice (Jpn).

The pair of I Am Invincible yearlings are both fillies from great families that make tremendous appeal.

I Am Invincible filly from Francaletta.

Lot 176 is the fourth foal of Francaletta, a Group III winning High Chaparral (IRE) half-sister to stakes-winner Asset from the family of Group I winner Snowland and Group winners Portillo, Ghisoni and current star Aussie bred NZ 2YO Return to Conquer, who has won three stakes races at his only starts to date.

The I Am Invincible x High Chaparral nick has produced nine winners from 10 starters headed by Group I winner Media Sensation, stakes-winner Imwonderfultonight, stakes-placed Daggers and promising filly Qatars Choice.

I Am Invincible filly from Joy at Last.

Lot 228 is the third foal of unraced Joy at Last, a half-sister by More Than Ready (USA) to Group II winner Castlereagh Kid and grand-daughter of Group I Queensland Oaks winner and blue hen Joie Denise, whose descendants include Group I winners Tuesday Joy, Sunday Joy, Fenway and Champion Mare More Joyous, who scored 21 wins and $4.5million and is by also by More Than Ready.
