Houtzen's Sister Makes an Even Million

Mark Smith - Friday January 10

Yarraman Park Stud’s super-sire I Am Invincible took his personal tally of $1 million yearlings at the Gold Coast sale to three when Marie Yoshida went to an even $1 million for the much-admired sister to Houtzen.

The ninth $1 million yearling of the sale, the filly is the fourth foal of the winning Reset mare Set To Unleash who has a story of her own to tell.

Purchased for just $2,500 by Sledmere Stud from the 2013 Patinack dispersal at the Gold Coast, Set To Unleash was back in the same sales ring a year later when purchased by Yarraman Park for $26,000.

After selling the Group III ATC PJ Bell Stakes, Group III MVRC Champagne Stakes and GCTC Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Houtzen for $105,000 to Toby Edmonds 2016 Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Yarraman Park cashed in on Set To Unleash when selling her for $900,000 to Mitchell Bloodstock at last year’s National Broodmare Sale. But she has not left the farm, foaling another filly by I Am Invincible on September 21 and was bred back to the champion.
