The
worth of Yarraman Park's gun sire I Am Invincible was highlighted in a new way
at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale on Wednesday.
The second highest priced offering of the session was stakes-placed Comprende,
who was consigned by Willow Park as agent and fetched $1,050,000 to the bid of
Widden Stud/ David Lucas.
Comprende is no stranger to the Magic Millions sale ring having been sold as a
yearling in 2014 at the Gold Coast by Yarraman Park for $440,000.
She was the most expensive yearling sired by I Am Invincible from his second crop
and the stunning good looks she had as a yearling have made her a highly
desirable broodmare.
A half-sister to Group III winners Excites Zelady and Zelady's Night Out, Comprende
won twice on the track and was twice stakes-placed including a third in the Group
III SAJC Schweppervescence Stakes.
She was importantly offered in foal to red hot sire Snitzel, putting the icing
on the cake.
The third highest priced mare on Wednesday was Group I producer Breccia, who
was offered by Bell View Park Stud in foal to I Am Invincible's dual Group I
winning son Brazen Beau, who topped the weanling sales averages last week.
A daughter of Fastnet Rock, Breccia made $950,000 when snapped up by Dean
Hawthorne Bloodstock.
I Am Invincible has had a benchmark year siring the winners of over $10 million
and 11 stakes-winners with his service fee set for this spring at $110,000.
With his influence now poised to extend to his broodmare daughters and sire
sons, 12 year-old I Am Invincible has moved to a new and exciting stage of his
career.
