Breednet had better things to do than write stories yesterday given it was Mother’s Day, however there was a debut two year-old winner on Sunday worthy of a lot closer inspection.
Anthony Freedman puts the polish on I Am Invincible filly La Mexicana, who was favourite for the 1100 metre juvenile fillies maiden at Ballarat and duly won in a canter.
She led all the way for Jamie Kah and cruised home to win by two and a half lengths.
A $320,000 Magic Millions purchase for Belmont Bloodstock from the Lime Country Thoroughbreds draft, La Mexicana runs for Ricky Surace’s B2B Thoroughbreds.
Bred in Victoria by Makybe, La Mexicana is the second winner from stakes-wining Domesday mare Cailin Miss, who has a yearling colt by All Too Hard and a weanling filly by Russian Revolution.
La Mexicana was the 17th two year-old winner of the season for Yarraman Park;s champion sire I Am Invincible, who stands at a fee of $209,000 this spring.
