Impressive Debutant for I Am Invincible

Breednet - Monday October 31

I Am Invincible had an impressive debut winner at Ballarat on Monday with a Maher/Eustace trained filly which cost $800,000.

Pink Cashmere had trialled once in heavy going at Cranbourne when fourth but made her race debut a one act affair, trouncing the field by over four lengths.

The filly is the first foal of the stakes winning Bidii Babe (Not A Single Doubt) and was purchased by Ciaron Maher Bloodstock for $800,000 from the Yarraman Park draft at the 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

Bidii Babe went to I Am Invincible twice more after Pink Cashmere, with a 2YO filly making $250,000 to John O’Shea this year and a yearling colt.

She foaled a colt by Zoustar this season.

It’s the 62nd season winner for I Am Invincible who trails only Written Tycoon on the General List by winners.

Blue Light Enhances Breeding Success
For successful breeding outcomes, timing is everything. The horse’s natural reproductive period coincides with the light-filled days of summer. As seasonal breeders, the naturally lengthening days of spring suppress melatonin and in turn stimulate reproductive hormones that maximise fertility for both mares and stallions.
