Tom Magnier is obviously a fan of I Am Invincible thanks to the mighty Home Affairs and he could not resist the dam of dual Group I winner Coolangatta offered in foal to Yarraman Park’s champion sire.
Consigned by Milburn Creek on behalf of UK owned Highclere Stud, Piping Hot was knocked down to Magnier for $3million.
Turning 10 this year, Piping Hot is a half-sister by More Than Ready (USA) to Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Reaan from Group II winner Ribe and her three yearlings sold at auction to date have sold for a combined total just over $1million.
With Coolangatta primed for a big performance at Royal Ascot, Piping Hot is a broodmare on the rise.
"She's in-foal to I Am Invincible, Coolangatta’s a champion and she’s a gorgeous looking type, so we’re delighted to get her," Magnier said of the Milburn Creek offering.
"The roster at home couldn't be going any better with the likes of Wootton Bassett, Justify, So You Think, all those stallions, so we can just take her home and see what the foal looks like."
