The Yarraman Park sires have been flying high this season with father and son duo I Am Invincible and Hellbent accounting for 11 Aussie stakes-winners between them since August 1 and for Brave Smash (Jpn) things are about to get interesting!
Brave Smash joined the Yarraman roster in 2023 after starting his stud career at Aquis, so his first Yarraman conceived yearlings are being offered this year.
This new generation are making their mark with a benchmark result at Magic Millions where Yarraman Park sold a Brave Smash colt from Tetsuko for $380,000 to George Moore Bloodstock to be his highest priced yearling ever.
Already the sire of Group I winner Kimochi and three more stakes-winners, Brave Smash has also made a favourable impression in Hong Kong where he has had three winners from just four starters.
Yarraman have three by Brave Smash in their Inglis Classic draft and they include Lot 69, a colt from Honoulu Lass, who comes into this sale with a massive pedigree update.
He is the fifth and final foal from Honoulu Lass, whose four previous are all winners and her two year-old is top class colt Zip Lock, who has won two of three starts including the Group III BRC BJ McLachlan Stakes.
Bought by Munce Racing/Arthur Hoyeau from the Yarraman draft at Magic Millions for $160,000, Zip Lock has already won over $250,000 and looks set for a bright career.
There is only one filly in this entire sale by champion sire I Am Invincible and you will find her in the Yarraman draft.
