$1.5 million I Am Invincible Colt – First foal of Egyptian Symbol

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 5

Bred and retained to race by Cressfield, Stratum mare Egyptian Symbol was a wonderfully tough and talented campaigner on the track and her first foal proved a sale ring superstar when selling at Inglis Easter on Tuesday for $1.5million.

The gorgeous bay sparked an intense bidding duel with Ciaron Maher Bloodstock placing the winning bid on the colt, whose grand-dam is Champion Older Female Sprinter Our Egyptian Raine.

 

 

“He’s a lovely animal, one of the colts of the sale,” said Will Bourne, Bloodstock Maher for Ciaron Maher.

“Ciaron loved him and bought him without an owner, so fortune favours the bold.

“We like the farm, Cressfield is a nursery for champions and we bought Cellsabeel from them a few years back, she’s in this pedigree and I think that was in Ciaron’s mind. She had tremendous ability and was one of the favourites for the Slipper, but broke down.

“He has a deep girth and really drove through with his hocks, which we also like.”

A long standing member of the Cressfield broodmare band, Our Egyptian Raine is by influential sire Desert Sun (GB), the sire of champion mare Sunline and sire of the dams of world champion sprinters Black Caviar and Nature Strip.

A multiple Group III winner of over $1.5million in prizemoney, Egyptian Symbol is the best of nine winners from Our Egytian Raine, who was retired from stud duties in 2020.

Egyptian Symbol slipped a foal to I Am Invincible in 2020 and was covered by Deep Field last spring.
