23 for I Am Invincible

Tara Madgwick - Friday July 12
Yarraman Park’s super sire I Am Invincible has opened up a little break on his rivals in the race to be leading sire by two year-old winners posting his 23rdjuvenile winner on Friday with a debut victory at Geelong for I Am Eloquent.

I Am Eloquent as a yearling, bred and sold by Two Bays FarmTrained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, I Am Eloquent was resuming from a spell and settled behind the leaders before angling into the clear to surge home and win the 1112 metre maiden by more than a length.

It was only her third start and gave the promise of better wins to come.

A $220,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the draft of Two Bays Farm for First Light Racing / Busuttin Racing / P Willetts, I Am Eloquent was bred by Two Bays Farm and is the first winner for Choisir stakes-winner Choice Words.

I Am Invincible is poised to be Champion 2YO Sire by earnings, winners and stakes-winners with only two and a half weeks of the racing season to come.

He is currently on 23 winners ahead of Snitzel and Better Than Ready on 20 each.
