The daughter of Encosta de Lago had a troubled start to her stud career with a miss and a slip in her first two seasons before hitting the jackpot on the third try with this stunning colt by I Am Invincible that was purchased by Kia Ora/ TFI/ Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott.

He will be trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, who also prepared English for the Kelly family.

 

English seems to be on track now at stud producing a colt by Snitzel last year and going back in foal, to the champion Arrowfield sire again.
