I Am Invincible was in hot form at the 2017 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale on Tuesday finishing the first session as the leading sire by average. I Am Invincible had five yearlings average $622,000 to lead the sire averages from established super sires Fastnet Rock (5 sold $600,000) and Redoute’s Choice (9 sold $543,333) His top seller at $1.6 million was also the most expensive colt of the session. Consigned by Segenhoe Thoroughbreds, the colt from Captivating Claire certainly captivated buyers with James Harron Bloodstock securing the youngster, who comes from the legendary Eight Carat (GB) family. The sale continues a great Easter run for Segenhoe, which was the vendor of last year’s top lot, the Snitzel half-brother to Winx that made $2.3 million. “Every good judge in the country was on him but I never thought he’d make that amount,” Peter O’Brien said. “To have James Harron buy him, who’s not only a good friend but I think the best judge in the business, we’re just delighted.” Segenhoe would be doubly thrilled with the sale given Captivating Claire has a weanling filly by I Am Invincible and is back in foal to him again. The result was a new benchmark for I Am Invincible, who produced his first million dollar yearling when his colt from Soorena topped the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale this year at $1.4 million. The sale continues.
