Champion sire I Am Invincible and Segenhoe Stud combined for another million dollar sale at Magic Millions on Thursday with the full sister to Group I winning filly In Secret knocked down to Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock at $1.15million.
“We loved her. She’s obviously got a heap of residual value being a full sister to the champion filly (In Secret),” said Damon Gabbedy.
“She’s from a fast running mare and she comes from an amazing farm. Thrilled to get her.
“She’s been a standout from day one. A standout from the farm tours and she’s handled herself beautifully all the way through. Her temperament back here was unbelievable.
“She’ll go to Ciaron Maher in Melbourne.”
The filly made marginally more than In Secret did when she went through the Gold Coast sale ring in 2021 and was bought by Godolphin for $900,000.
“She was a bit bigger than In Secret, who cost $900,000 and she’s won two Group 1s and this is a full sister to her so she’s always going to be worth a lot of money as a broodmare down the track.”
The star filly is the fifth foal of Group III winning Choisir mare Eloping, who has been married to I Am Invincible of late and has another filly to follow and is back in foal to him again.
Yarraman Park also had good results with I Am Invincible on Thursday selling a colt from Danish Spy for $800,000 to Rosemont Stud/Suman Hedge Bloodstock (FBAA)/Gollan Racing and a filly from Flippant for $750,000 to TFI/Kia Ora Joint Venture.
