Gelding
might be the making of talented youngster Enforcement, who scored a brilliant front
running win at Rosehill on Saturday for the Peter and Paul Snowden stable.
A $360,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Yarraman Park draft for China Horse
Club / Newgate Farm / WinStar Farm, I Am Invincible gelding Enforcement
disappointed when well fancied in his first two starts in metropolitan company
firstly in December last year and then again in March.
Gelded after those moderate efforts, Enforcement showed his true colours when resuming
to win easily at Newcastle last month and was a class above when taking on city
class juveniles on Saturday.
He jumped fast from an outside gate to take the lead and despite being pestered
in the run by Memphis Rock, was far too good in the straight, dashing clear to
win the 1200 metre sprint by nearly two lengths.
It would have been a tough decision to geld Enforcement, given he comes
with big pedigree!
He is the first winner for stakes-winning Snitzel mare Express Power, a
half-sister to the dam of stakes-winners Winner's Way, That's a Good Idea and
Kneeling as well as the dam of Group I winner Ace High. Further back it's the
family of legendary sire Danehill.
Yarraman Park sold a full sister to Enforcement at Inglis Easter this year to
Hermitage Thoroughbreds for $360,000 and Express Power has a weanling filly to
follow by I Am Invincible and is in foal to his Group I winning son Hellbent.
Enforcement is another talented juvenile for I Am Invincible, who is leading
the Australian 2YO Sires List with progeny earnings in excess of $3.2million
and eight 2YO stakes-winners.
