$210,000 Kings Gambit Colt Highlights Armidale Stud Inglis Great Southern Success

Tara Madgwick - Friday Jun 12

I Am Invincible’s good looking son King’s Gambit produced a great result for Tasmanian based vendors Armidale Stud when they sold a colt by the young Newgate sire for $210,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale on Friday.

The fourth foal of stakes-placed Flying Krupt, the colt was snapped up by Blue Gum Farm / Suman Hedge Bloodstock and is a half-brother to Tasmanian 2YO sensation Aristopolos.

The St Mark’s Basilica (Fr) colt has been untouchable in Tasmania this season winning all of his six starts including two listed races with prizemoney topping $336,000.

Trained by John Blacker, Aristopolos got better and better with every start and his last three wins came with a collective winning margin of 18 lengths suggesting this colt can ultimately make his mark on the mainland.
