  • Easter Filly Adds to Seven Figure Club

    Tuesday, 13th April 2021

    The number of $1 million-plus lots sold at last week’s Easter Yearling Sale has increased to 23 following the purchase by Vic Bates of the I Am Invincible-Listen Here (Elusive Quality) filly for $1,050,000. Lot 392, offered by Cressfield, was initially passed in through the ring but following some swift negotiating, Bates’ Roughwood Park secured the stunning half-sister to Group 1-winning Northern Meteor (Encosta de Lago full-brothers Deep Field and Shooting To Win. She becomes the ninth I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) yearling at Easter 2021 to realise $1 million or more. Meanwhile, Lot 425, an I Am Invincible x Miss Atom Bomb (Encosta de Lago) colt from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft, has also sold since Wednesday night’s end of sale, with Snowden Racing teaming up with Primavera Pastoral to secure the colt for $600,000. Miss Atom Bomb is a half-sister to Winx (Street Cry). The purchases are two of a number of lots to have sold since the gavel came down on the final lot on Wednesday, which has seen the overall Easter Yearling Sale clearance rate climb to a stunning 90% and the gross exceed $134.4 million.
