A
last start winner of the $60,000 Wagga MTC Guineas, progressive I Am Invincible
gelding Invincible Knight made it three wins in a row when scoring in a
thrilling head bobbing finish at Canterbury on Wednesday.
Fourth in the Listed Bendigo Guineas at his last run for Peter Moody in March,
Invincible Knight has been in hot form for new trainer John Thompson reeling
off three consecutive wins since April.
His latest success came in the Benchmark 70 event over 1550 metres and despite
being burdened with 60.5 kg proved too good in scoring by a nose.
With four wins from 11 starts and nearly $140,000 in prizemoney, Invincible
Knight has a bright future.
A $140,000 Inglis Premier Yearling purchase from the Bell River Thoroughbreds
draft for Bill Mitchell Bloodstock, Invincible Knight is the best of four
winners from winning Encosta de Lago mare Luminary, whose dam is a sister to
dual Group I winner Alcove.
I Am Invincible also had a two year-old winner at Ipswich in Sir Donald and has
sired five winners in the past five days.
