Lot 306 I Am Invincible (AUS) - Danish Spy (AUS) bay or brown Filly

Lot 306 bay/brown filly I Am Invincible – Danish Spy (Dane Shadow) - draft: Yarraman Park Stud 

The filly is by Australian Champion Sire for the past three years I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), who currently sits second in the General Sires’ List, is the leading Australian stallion in the TRC Global Sire Rankings, and stands for a service fee of $275,000 at Yarraman Park Stud.

I Am Invincible is also the sire of Imperatriz, whom Te Akau principal David Ellis purchased in 2020 at the Gold Coast. The winner of 10 Group One races, the most for her sire, Imperatriz is the current New Zealand Horse of the Year and Champion Sprinter in Australia. Retired and sold in June last year for $6.6 million, she became the highest priced filly or mare ever sold in the Southern Hemisphere.

I Am Invincible yearlings have sold for $2.7 million, $2m, $1.9m, $1.7m, $1.45m, and averaged nearly $400,000 last year.

Dam Danish Spy, by Danehill sire son Dane Shadow, was a Group Two placed winner of five races from 1200m – 2000m, and to date left three individual winners of eight races, including Group Two winner Strasbourg (I Am Invincible).

The filly is bred on the same I Am Invincible/Dane Shadow cross as former Te Akau trained stakes placed three-time sprint winner Vamos Bebe, whose dam Hurtle Myrtle (Dane Shadow) won the Myer Classic (Gr. 1, 1600m), Dane Ripper Stakes (Gr. 2, 1400m), and Sapphire Stakes (Gr. 2, 1200m).

‘She’s a beautiful walking filly with a lot of class, from a family that has produced plenty of early types,’ Ellis said.

‘She’s a fantastic example of the cross of I Am Invincible and the Danehill sire line, and easy to see plenty of both stallions in her makeup.

‘She’s athletic and just a magnificent individual.’

The filly has a beautifully balanced Danzig cross through her sire-lines.
