$1.15million 2YO Filly the 200th Winner for I Am Invincible

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday July 23

Yarraman Park’s champion sire I Am Invincible ticked over his 200th Australian winner for the season at Canterbury on Wednesday when his blue-blood filly Kerber opened her account at just her second start.

Unplaced at her only previous start in the Listed ATC Lonhro Plate back in February won by Bellazaine, Kerber was transferred out of the Ciaron Maher stable after that and is now trained by Chris Waller.

Brought along quietly over the winter, Kerber had the benefit of two recent barrier trials and gave Jason Collett an easy steer in the 1200m maiden.

She jumped quickly and found the front, travelling smoothly throughout and when challenged she stuck to her guns holding on to win by a long head.

“She is very quick and it's great that she can utilise that speed because she had control of that race along the way out,” said Jason Collett.

“There's definitely more to come as she’s still got a bit of growing up to do upstairs as she didn't really handle things going to the start and she shied badly and got herself quite wound up.

“She saw some cyclists going down the back track when I was turning around to go to the gates and it’s just little things like that, her mind's not completely on it yet.”

A big strapping style of filly, Kerber was a $1.15million Magic Millions purchase from Segenhoe Stud for Belmont Bloodstock on behalf of B2B Thoroughbreds.

Bred by Segenhoe in partnership with Longwood Thoroughbred Farm, she is a full sister to dual Group I winner and $5million earner In Secret being the third winner from four foals to race from Group III winning Choisir mare Eloping.

Kerber sold for $1.15million at Magic Millions.

Segenhoe sold another yearling filly by I Am Invincible from Eloping at Magic Millions this year for $2.3million to Laguna Partnership/John Sargent Racing and she has already been named Secrets Within.

Eloping produced a colt by I Am Invincible last year, but will have no foal this year after subsequently missing to the champion sire.

I Am Invincible has sired 200 winners of more than $22million in prizemoney this season and stands at a fee of $220,000.
