Yarraman Park produced a winning double at Warwick Farm on Wednesday with metropolitan success for I Am Invincible three year-old Invinzabeel and handy four year-old Sense of Occasion.
Prepared by Sam Kavanagh, Invinzabeel ended a frustrating run of minor placings when scoring by more than a length over 1600 metres.
A $135,000 Magic Millions purchase for his trainer, Invinzabeel is the fourth winner from four to race from ill-fated Bell Mia, a half-sister by Zabeel to Hong Kong International Mile winner The Duke.
Previously trained by the late Guy Walter, Sense of Occasion scored his first win for new trainer Joe Pride when saluting over 1400 metres and has now won four of 12 starts and over $133,000 in prizemoney.
A son of Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense (USA), Sense of Occasion was an $80,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Beamish Bloodstock.
Bred by Shadwell and foaled and raised at Yarraman Park, Sense of Occasion is the second winner from Saywaan, a half-sister by Zabeel to Group I winner Rewaaya.
Saywaan was on-sold in 2012 for $75,000 and had a Fastnet Rock colt fetch $900,000 at Inglis Easter earlier this week for her owners Sun Kingdom, who offered the colt through their Eliza Park International draft.
