Yearling Spotlight: Lot 428 I Am Invincible - Meuse Bay Filly

One of the standout fillies among Te Akau Racing’s current opportunities is without doubt Lot 428 from the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale — a beautifully balanced bay filly by I Am Invincible out of Meuse, with just 25% ownership currently available!

Purchased for $360,000 from the prestigious Widden Stud draft, this filly represents an exceptional opportunity to secure a share in a high-quality individual boasting one of the most powerful and proven pedigrees in the Southern Hemisphere.

She is by I Am Invincible, a three-time Australian Champion Sire and one of the most influential stallions of the modern era. Renowned for producing elite-level sprinters with brilliance, speed, and toughness, his progeny includes Te Akau’s own Imperatriz — a World Champion Sprinter, New Zealand Horse of the Year, and 10-time Group One winner.

Notably, Imperatriz was also purchased by David Ellis for $360,000, further highlighting the potential that can emerge from this level of investment.

On the dam side, the filly is out of Meuse, a stakes-winning and Group Three placed mare by four-time Champion Sire Snitzel. A mare with both performance and pedigree, Meuse has already left a winner and brings the highly successful Redoute’s Choice sire line into the pedigree, adding depth, class, and consistency.

The strength of the family continues through her granddam Precious Lorraine, a Group Three winner who has produced multiple winners, while the pedigree traces back to the renowned Shantha’s Choice family — one of the most influential in Australasian breeding. This is the direct family of Champion Sire Redoute’s Choice, along with Group One winners Platinum Scissors, Manhattan Rain, and a host of elite performers, underlining the depth and quality that runs through this filly’s page.

Physically, she is an outstanding type — strong, correct, and athletic, with the presence and balance you would expect from such an elite pedigree. She has been expertly raised and prepared by Widden Stud and presents as a filly with both early speed and the scope to train on.

Te Akau principal David Ellis highlighted both her pedigree strength and physical quality when securing the filly.

“It’s not very often you get the opportunity to buy a filly from a family like this,” Ellis said.

“Her bloodlines are among the very best Australia has produced, and this particular family has consistently delivered Group One performers.

“She’s a strong, well-made filly with real class and presence, and she’s been prepared by one of the best farms in the world. Whatever she can achieve on the racetrack will only add to the already significant residual value she holds.”

With her combination of elite pedigree, proven sire power, and outstanding physical, Lot 428 represents a rare opportunity to be involved in a filly with genuine racetrack upside and exceptional long-term value.
