Lot 676 I Am Invincible x Impressions - filly for $180,000 + GST from the Yarraman Park draft
I am Invincible is without a doubt, the HOTTEST Sire in the land right now. It seems like a new Stakes winner is emerging every week by this phenomenal Sire and to secure a filly that is a dead ringer of him, with exceptional class and quality, was unbelievable.
This filly is a lovely loose walking filly, with plenty of size and scope. Like most of the I Am Invincible stock, she will run at the age of 2 and train on.
The Dam is by champion racehorse OCTAGONAL and is a full sister to multiple Group 2 winner HOSANNAH and half sister to Group 2 winner ALTAR.
Extraordinary filly by a Sire that can't stop producing winners!
