The final day of trade at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on Tuesday was topped by Yarraman Park’s I Am Invincible colt from Navajo Dreamer (IRE) that sold for $400,000.
The second foal of a stakes-placed imported mare from a big Black Type family, he was purchased by Bahen Bloodstock Ltd / Lees Racing.
Bahen said the decision to target the colt was an easy one for he and Lees.
“He is off a good farm, so that makes life easy, the stallion’s doing everything in front of him, I mean you only have to look back to Saturday at the races, he was pretty much in the finish of every race there (at Randwick),’’ Bahen said.
“He’s sharp but he might take a little bit longer than normal, but I am happy to have a good horse at any age.’’
The result capped a great sale for Yarraman Park.
“It’s been a great sale overall for us, 22 sold from 22 offered and this lovely Vinnie colt to end the sale for us,’’ Yarraman’s Matt Scown said.
“We always try to target a really lovely colt for this sale because, like we’ve shown, you can sell them really well and this colt was no exception.
“We always like to bring a strong draft here, the buyers are always here, Inglis have done a great job in getting everyone here and the inspection process was as good as usual.’’
Yarraman Park sold yearlings at Riverside Stables for $2,146,500 with some terrific results for Hellbent with a filly from Amber’s Waltz going to Perth trainer Simon Miller for $200,000, while Annabel Neasham and Lizzie Jelfs combined to purchase a filly from Sognani for $170,000.
