He might play second fiddle to his champion sire I Am Invincible at Yarraman Park, but Hellbent has started this new season on a mission and with five winners on Saturday is now sharing the lead at the top of the Australian Sires List by winners.

Among his Saturday winners was the Kris Lees trained mare Hellavadancer, who scored a three-quarter length win in the Benchmark 78 event at Rosehill over 1400m.

A $100,000 Magic Millions purchase for Australian Bloodstock from the Yarraman Park draft, Hellavadancer has the overall record of six wins and seven placings from 26 starts with prizemoney topping $381,000.

Hellavadancer is a three-quarter sister to stakes-winner Minsk Moment and is from Group III placed Oratorio mare Dancing Express.

Hellbent has sired 17 winners in 17 days and shares the top of the leading sires by winners list with Toronado (IRE).

Hellbent stands at a fee of $38,500.
