Champion
trained Darren Weir featured at Sandown on Wednesday with two winners by
Yarraman Park's super sire I Am Invincible, one of them a full brother to dual
Group I winner and budding sire Brazen Beau.
Winning the opening race was three year-old colt Hermanito, and while it's unlikely
he will ever be as good as big brother Brazen Beau, he is now a winner after
scoring by half a neck over 1400 metres.
Placed at four previous runs, Hermanito was well overdue for the win and will
take plenty of confidence out of the race going forward.
Not offered at auction, he runs for a syndicate put together by Grant Morgan's Ontrack
Thoroughbreds, who also bought and raced his famous older brother.
He is the third winner for Group III placed Sansadee, whose current yearling, a
filly by Hallowed Crown will be offered by Murrulla Stud as Lot 30 at the 2018
Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
Weir followed up to win the Benchmark 64 event over 1000 metres with speedy
colt Holy Blade, who dashed clear to win by two and a half lengths as
favourite.
A $180,000 Inglis Classic purchase for YuLong Investments from the Yarraman Park
draft, Holy Blade has won two of five starts and is one of eight winners for
stakes-winner Amphritite, who comes from the family of Group I winners Allez
Wonder and Tivaci.
Amphritite has a Sizzling colt that will be offered at the 2018 Magic Millions
Tasmanian Yearling Sale by Booralite Park as Lot 11.
