The I Am Invincible x Suspicieuse colt, pictured as a foal with his dam.
The very first yearling to sell for our Broodmare Partnership set the Magic Millions sale ring alight this afternoon at the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, selling for $1,900,000 to Tom Magnier of Coolmore Australia.
His dam, Suspicieuse, was secured privately by JHB carrying this colt, as a commercial breeding prospect for a group of our owners who have come together to purchase her. We identified her as a highly-desirable breeding prospect, given that her first foal is Group 3 Breeders’ Plate winner Dubious (by Not a Single Doubt), and eventually as a bullseye mare to visit King’s Legacy, as he is a three-quarter brother to Not a Single Doubt
This colt has been an absolute standout from day one through all of our regular inspections of our clients’ stock, and we are delighted for our owners that the market was in agreement, with incredibly strong competition to secure him. In addition to an incredible physique, he is blessed with the most unflappable temperament, and he is a tremendously exciting racing and, hopefully, stallion prospect.
Suspicieuse has a lovely Pariah filly on the ground, and is resident at Newgate Farm. Congratulations to our owners, Belinda Bateman, Rob Love, Phil & Glenda Mehrten and Fergus Doyle, and wishing Coolmore the very best of luck with this outstanding colt. Finally, many thanks to all of the team at Newgate Farm, who have done a tremendous job in raising him.
