Invincible Winner of Wagga Town Plate

Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 1

I Am Invincible is the reigning champion sire with a long line of million dollar yearlings and Group I winners to his credit and at Wagga on Friday it was a one of his lesser lights in the spotlight with the Gooree Stud bred Compelling Truth taking out the $200,000 Wagga Town Plate (1200m).

Bred by Gooree Stud and retained to race in partnership after passing in at Inglis Easter in 2021 shy of a $350,000 reserve, Compelling Truth had a couple of runs for Annabel Archibald before returning to Mudgee to join the stable of local trainer Mac Griffith and has never looked back.

Compelling Truth has worked through his grades in the country and had a successful campaign in Brisbane this year coming to Wagga off a last start win at Eagle Farm last month.

He was tenacious to the line for Bailey Wheeler winning the Town Plate by a long head taking his overall record to 11 wins from 22 starts with prizemoney just shy of $450,000.

Compelling Truth is the first winner for Gooree Stud’s Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Speak Fondly, who has been based at Newgate in recent times as part of the joint venture between the two farms.

Newgate sold an Extreme Choice filly from Speak Fondly this year for $800,000 to Michael Freedman Racing/Michael Wallace/Emirates Park and she has another filly to follow also by Extreme Choice.
