Widden Stud Sell $1.3 million I Am Invincible Colt

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 3

Stakes-winning O’Reilly mare Bonny O’Reilly (NZ) delivered a Magic Millions sale-topper a few years ago for Widden Stud and she produced another million dollar yearling at Inglis Easter on Monday when her I Am Invincible colt sold for $1.3million to Yulong.

A half-brother to Group III placed Basquiat from a sister to the dam of recent Group I ATC Coolmore Classic winner Espiona, the star colt has the looks and pedigree to match.

Bonny O’Reilly was bought by Widden Stud and partners for $1.2million at the 2019 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale and her first three foals (all colts) have sold for an impressive $3.63million.

Bonny O'Reilly was purchased for $1.2million in 2019.

“We bought Bonny O’Reilly with some other partners and she was an expensive mare for us, but produces a lovely horse,” Antony Thompson told Jemma Cutting of Inglis.

“I’m very grateful to Yulong, who have invested so much in Australia and they bought the Zoustar filly from Solar Charged filly from us earlier this year for $2.6million, so it’s great they’ve come back to us again.”

Bonny O’Reilly produced another Snitzel colt last spring and was then covered by I Am invincible.
