“We loved her. She’s obviously got a heap of residual value being a full sister to the champion filly (In Secret),” said Damon Gabbedy.

“She’s from a fast running mare and she comes from an amazing farm. Thrilled to get her.

“She’s been a standout from day one. A standout from the farm tours and she’s handled herself beautifully all the way through. Her temperament back here was unbelievable.

“She’ll go to Ciaron Maher in Melbourne.”

$1.15million I Am Invincible filyl from Eloping.

The filly made marginally more than In Secret did when she went through the Gold Coast sale ring in 2021 and was bought by Godolphin for $900,000.

“She was a bit bigger than In Secret, who cost $900,000 and she’s won two Group 1s and this is a full sister to her so she’s always going to be worth a lot of money as a broodmare down the track.”

The star filly was bred by Segenhoe in partnership with Longwood Thoroughbred Farm and is the fifth foal of Group III winning Choisir mare Eloping, who has been married to I Am Invincible of late and has another filly to follow and is back in foal to him again.
