Blueblood I Am Invincible Filly Wins G3 Proud Miss

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 9

A three-quarter sister-in-blood to dual Group I winning mare Charm Stone, stakes-placed I Am Invincible filly Naifah always looked well bought at the 2025 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for $400,000.

Offered at the Gold Coast by her breeder Emirates Park, Naifah had three starts on her resume that included a stakes-placing in the Listed SAJC Cinderella Stakes and the two year-old was snapped up by Silverdale Farm/Andrew Williams Bloodstock.

Transferred from the Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable to the care of Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr, who also put the polish on her close relation Charm Stone, Naifah has been a work in progress since then.

She won a Hawkesbury maiden last spring and has been competitive in several stakes races since, but put it altogether for Zac Lloyd to score a dominant win.

She enjoyed a good run in transit from gate two and kicked right away after turning for home to win by nearly three lengths.

“She did a great job today and Zac rode her really well, got her in front. So that was a great result for her and her page. Steve Grant from Silverdale Farm bought her and I took a little bit of her and I was pretty happy,” said part-owner Neil Werrett.

"She controlled that the whole way. I mean, her form was a lot better than the other horses today. And (Mick) Price and (Michael Kent) Junior have done a great job to bring her over here and place her, and the whole aim was to get black type and to win this race.

“So she's worth a fair bit for the breeding barn now."

Bred by Emirates Park, Naifah is the first foal of Najmah, a metro winning half-sister by Snitzel to $2.6million earner Charm Stone and also stakes-winner Najmaty from Group III winner Najoom.

Najmah has a yearling filly by Harry Angel (IRE), a weanling filly by Tassort and is in foal to Ole Kirk.

There are plenty of fillies in this family being bred to the best sires and everything about Naifah suggests she is going to be a very valuable addition to the Silverdale Farm broodmare band.

Naifah is the 125th stakes-winner for champion sire I am Invincible, who stands at Yarraman at a fee of $220,000 this spring.
