News - KING'S GAMBIT (AUS)
The two year-old full brother to Group winning Golden Slipper place-getter and exciting young sire King’s Gambit was an easy pick as the One to Watch when he scored a stylish debut win on Sunday.
The Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale last week produced strong results and a record average of $51,829, providing another look at the progeny of several exciting young first season sires, so let’s check out the best of their results.
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.
Having just been crowned Champion Australian Sire for the third year running, Yarraman Park’s I Am Invincible is a stallion whose legacy is assured and for his many fans that can no longer afford his service fee he does have two young gun sons starting out in the Hunter Valley this spring and choosing between the two is going to give breeders some sleepless nights.
Newgate Farm have announced their 2024 roster and fees headlined by three first season horses in top class Group One winning colts, Ozzmosis and Militarize along the highly rated Group Two winner King’s Gambit.
Zoustar colt Ozzmosis won the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes last spring, while highly rated I Am Invincible colt King’s Gambit is looking for his first G1 and both were in action at the Randwick trials this morning.
Super talented I Am Invincible colt King’s Gambit delivered on potential at Rosehill on Saturday zooming up the fence to win the Group II ATC Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) from a wall of pursuers.
The barrier trials at Randwick on Tuesday morning held plenty of interest with G1 winners Lion’s Roar and In the Congo both winning heats as well as star sprinters Lost and Running and Shades of Rose, but we’re interested in the juveniles and in particular King’s Gambit.
If it thrills you to see the progeny of top-class mares taking their formative steps, then you are in for a treat with the runnings of the Group III Canonbury Stakes and Group III Widden Stakes at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.
