Yarraman Park are proud to present a select draft of 15 at Inglis Easter and nine are by the farm’s champion sire I Am Invincible and his top-class son Hellbent, fresh from siring Invincible Ibis to win the prestigious Hong Kong Derby (2000m) on Sunday.
The sire of 123 stakes-winners worldwide including G1 winners this season Caballus and Charm Stone, I Am Invincible has progeny earnings topping $242million and is in the legend class.
His legacy will be felt a long way into the future with his champion son Home Affairs, now sitting at the top of the Australian 2YO Sires List and First Season Sire List.
A dual Group I winner on the track, Home Affairs has been held in high regard since retiring to stud and after siring Golden Slipper winner Guest House last Saturday, his star is headed into the stratosphere.
Yarraman invested early into the potential of I Am Invincible as a sire of sires with Hellbent added to their roster in 2018 and have been rewarded with his growing wave of success.
Hellbent is enjoying a career best season with 83 winners of $10.7million putting him in the Top 10 Australian Sires by earnings with star performers including multiple Group winning filly Savvy Hallie, G1 placed $3million earner Vivy Air, plus Group winning 2YO Zip Lock and $1million ATC Golden Gift winner Revengeance, who was sadly sidelined out of a Slipper campaign through injury.

Lot 16 Colt Hellbent x Pierro Moss, by Pierro
Three-quarter brother to G2 placed Tardelli and also smart HK based galloper Invincible Shield and comes from the family of I Am Invincible’s dual Group I winner Charm Stone. Is a colt that the Hong Kong market will find hard to resist.
Lot 33 Colt I Am Invincible x Quality Response (USA), by Quality Road
Third foal of an imported stakes-winning daughter of elite sire Quality Road from an international Black Type family featuring Champion European 2YO Filly Rainbow View. Bred along similar lines to current US stakes-winning 3YO colt Greenwich Village, who is by Quality Road from I Am Invincible’s brilliant sprinter Houtzen.
Lot 48 Filly Hellbent x Rose of Mulan, by More Than Ready (USA)
No guesswork required here! Half-sister to G2 winner Shades of Rose, who was good enough to contest an Everest and G3 winner Scallopini, who won over $1.1million. Has the pedigree to make her one of the best bred fillies by her sire ever offered for sale.
Lot 125 Filly I Am Invincible x Sugar Hill, by Hinchinbrook
Three-quarter sister to Hell to Pay, who has won twice more at Eagle Farm and Doomben since the catalogue went to print. She is the fourth foal for her dam, whose three previous are all by Hellbent and her 2YO sold for $425,000 to the HKJC last year.
From a prolific Black Type female family that has produced sprinting superstars Yes Yes Yes and In Her Time.
Lot 194 Filly Proisir x Zee Falls (NZ), by Sacred Falls
One of only two fillies in this sale by champion NZ sire Proisir and is all class. First foal of G2 Wellington Stakes winner Zee Falls, who also has multiple Group placings and is a half-sister to recent Group II SAJC Adelaide Cup winner American Wolf. From a family that has also produced Champion NZ 2YO Warhorse and this season’s stakes-winning juvenile Calamari Ring, so there is real quality and versatility to this pedigree.
Lot 232 Colt I Am Invincible x Bonham, by Per Incanto (USA)
Second foal of G1 Levin Classic winner Bonham, a grand-daughter of stakes-winner Banc de Fortune with fourth dam Danendri, the Champion 3YO Filly of her generation. Per Incanto mares are making an impression and have produced eight stakes-winners headed by the world’s best sprinter Ka Ying Rising.
Her first foal is Miss Zeppelin, a 2YO I Am Invincible filly that made $500,000 at this sale last year when bought by First Light Racing / Gollan Racing / John Foote Bloodstock (FBAA) / David Skelly.
