It’s taken a little longer than some people thought, but Yarraman Park’s I Am Invincible is now officially Australia’s Champion Sire for 2021/2022 by earnings and winners, so let’s take a look at how he got there.
As a Group III winner by a shuttle sire that came to Victoria for four seasons, I Am Invincible was probably not the obvious pick as a potential champion sire of the future, but Arthur and Harry Mitchell saw something worth trying and have been well rewarded ever since.
A stunning individual, I Am Invincible reliably transmits those handsome dark bay good looks to his offspring along with a good dose of his brilliant speed and no matter what the quality of mare, he delivers the goods.
I Am Invincible (Foaled 2004) stands this spring at $247,500
