Yarraman Park Bring Proven Quality to Premier

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Feb 24

Yarraman Park is home to outstanding father and son duo of I Am Invincible and Hellbent with both stallions currently sitting in the Top 10 sires this season by Australian earnings.

With 11 stakes-winners between them and over $20million in combined seasonal earnings these powerhouse sires deliver the goods for owners time and again.

Lot 289 Colt I Am Invincible x Raptures, by Fastnet Rock

Second foal of a winning grand-daughter of blue hen and Group I winner Joie Denise with this pedigree page packed with G1 winners such as More Joyous, Tuesday Joy, Sunday Joy and Fenway.

The I Am Invincible x Fastnet Rock cross runs at 81% winners to runners with seven SW’s headed by G2  winner Airman making for 11% SW to runner!

Lot 567 Filly I Am Invincible x Constant Dreaming, by Blackfriars

The only filly in this sale by I Am Invincible. First foal of two time SW Constant Dreaming, a full sister to SW Tena Koutou and grand-daughter of SW Kia Ora Miss.

Constant Dreaming has a colt to follow by I Am Invincible and is back in foal to him again, which validates the good impression this filly has made.

Lot 114 Filly Hellbent x Husson’s Kiss, by Husson (Arg)

Half-sister to SW The Nephew from a winning half-sister G2 winning $1.2million earner Rubisaki and to the dam of G3 placed Flattered.

The 2YO from Husson’s Kiss is Signed by a Kiss (Yes Yes Yes), who is showing good promise in the Patrick and Michelle Payne stable and placed in her first trial at Ballarat on Monday, while the 3YO Helluva Kiss (Hellbent) was second on debut at Wyong at the start of the month for the Waterhouse Bott stable and is entered for Rosehill on Wednesday.

Additional highlights include:

Lot 25 Colt Justify (USA) x Elate (NZ), by Savabeel

Fourth foal of SW Elate, a half-sister to G3 winner High Emocean going back to the family of Cox Plate winner Australian Horse of the Year Bonecrusher. A quality colt with undeniable classic potential.

Lot 69 Filly Wootton Bassett (GB) x Frankieta (GB), by Frankel

By a champion sire from a daughter of another. Second foal of an unraced half-sister to French SW Stylistique from the family of G1 winners Eagle Mountain and Dank. First foal is 3YO Komito (Lope de Vega) now a winner from three starts in the Ciaron Maher stable.

Bred on similar Wootton Bassett x Galileo (sire of Frankel) cross that has produced 11 SW’s – five of them G1 winners Al Riffa, Puerto Rico, Whirl, Maranoa Charlie and Hawk Mountain.

Lot 282 Filly Home Affairs x Queen of the Green, by Written Tycoon

From the second crop of exciting young sire Home Affairs, who has already produced seven stakes performers and is first foal of Queen of the Green, who made $1.5million as a yearling and retired a lightly raced winner.

Grand-dam Karuta Queen was a brilliantly fast Group winner that also won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and has left five winners headed by SW Eawase.
