Exciting young sire I Am Invincible posted an early winner at Sandown on Wednesday when the Peter Moody trained colt Roundabout cast off maiden status with a decisive victory.
Unlucky when beaten a short head at Kyneton when resuming from a spell on November 5, Roundabout quickly made amends when cruising clear for Luke Nolen to take the 1400 metre maiden by two lengths.
“That was uncomplicated,” said Luke Nolen.
“He pounced on the lead turning for home. He’s really furnished since his last preparation and is an exciting horse going forward.”
Roundabout was passed in shy of a modest $35,000 reserve at Magic Millions when consigned by Attunga Stud and was retained to race by his breeders, who look to have a nice horse on their hands with four placings and a win from just six starts.
He is the second winner for metropolitan winning Encosta de Lago mare Fidele, who comes from the family of grey Group winners Simply Believe and Faith Hill, who trace back to the imported grey Group I winner Pure of Heart (IRE), who won the STC George Ryder Stakes back in 1982.
Roundabout is another winner for leading Australian Second Season Sire I Am Invincible, who has 31 entries for the 2015 Magic Millions in January.
