Well
known Australian owner/ breeders Graham and Linda Huddy have enjoyed success
with I Am Invincible both on the race track and in the sale ring in recent
days.
Their maroon and gold colours were carried to victory at Doomben on Australia Day
by three year-old I Am Invincible filly Of the Day trained by Tony Gollan.
She broke through to score by half a neck as favourite ending a frustrating run
of minor placings.
Of the Day was a $210,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Yarraman Park draft
and is a full sister to smart stakes-winner Most Important, who was also
purchased by the Huddy's at Magic Millions from Yarraman the year before for
$260,000.
Of the Day and Most Important are from Orange Marmalade, whose current as yet
unraced two year-old colt All Important is also raced by the Huddy's and
trained by Tony Gollan.
He was a little more expensive than his siblings, having been bought by the
Huddy's last year for $500,000 at Magic Millions.
At the NZB Premier Yearling Sale on Monday, Graham and Linda Huddy tasted commercial
success as breeders when an I am Invincible filly they bred and consigned through
the Lime Country Thoroughbreds draft sold for $425,000 to Ger Beemsterboer.
The filly is the second foal of Different To, a half-sister to Group I winner
Dorabella by High Chaparral (IRE), who sired the Huddy's former champion
galloper Shoot Out.
I am Invincible has two more yearlings to be offered at Karaka in the Premier
Yearling Sale on Tuesday.
