I Am Invincible Headlines Yarraman Park Roster

Yarraman Park Stud has announced its service fees for 2026 and, once again, its multiple champion sire I Am Invincible (AUS) takes pride of place on the roster alongside his emerging sire-son Hellbent (AUS) and the exciting Japanese-bred Brave Smash (JPN), standing at an unchanged fee of AU$220,000 (US$156,200, AU$1=US$0.71). I Am Invincible is known throughout the industry as "Vinnie" and the Yarraman trophy cabinet is fit to burst with his Australian premierships that started with first-season honors in 2013-14 and reached a crescendo with a hat trick of general sires titles in the seasons ending 2022-24. His group 1-winning roll call reached 19 after Caballus (AUS) stormed home in the Newmarket Handicap (G1) and, across the Tasman, his exciting 2-year-old colt Seize the Day (AUS) overpowered the Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes (G1) field March 28. Vinnie's influence is showing no signs of slowing. "He continues to deliver on every front and he's incredibly reliable," Yarraman Park director Arthur Mitchell declared. "He's striking at 81% winners to runners, 9.2% stakes winners to runners, and 5.5% group winners to runners. … He's done more than we ever dreamed. He's continuing to give to everyone who uses him and I know we are in for another good season with him." Hellbent is developing into a genuine force in the Australasian stallion ranks. A potential champion in waiting, he sits comfortably in the top 10 in the general sires' list this season with AU$11.15 million in progeny earnings. He's jumped from 14th last season to eighth currently, highlighting his upward trajectory. Hellbent sired five group 1 performers this season plus Invincible Ibis (AUS) who dominated the Hong Kong Derby. His progeny are showing their versatility across a range of distances along with their ability to win at 2, like this season's black-type horses Zip Lock, Revengeance, Cyclotron, and Hawea. They then train on, as highlighted by his 6-year-old group 1-winning daughter Magic Time (AUS) who has earned AU$4.5 million and Benedetta (AUS) who has banked AU$2.4 million. Hellbent will stand for an increased fee of AU$55,000. Brave Smash enters his fourth season at Yarraman Park off a positive start at the 2026 Magic Millions and Inglis yearling sales. Buyers showed strong support and confidence in Brave Smash throughout the majors, starting with a 100% clearance rate in Book 1 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. He also achieved his highest-priced yearling to date when a colt out of Tetsuko sold to George Moore Bloodstock of Hong Kong for AU$380,000. "Achieving a career-best price for a yearling this year just shows the quality of mare he's receiving," Yarraman's Harry Mitchell said. "He has seven stakes horses including a group 1 winner from his first crop. They're tough and enjoy their jobs just like Brave Smash and they suit our racing. We're looking forward to seeing his 2-year-olds step out and we will continue to support him along with our partners Emirates Park and others." Brave Smash will stand for a slightly reduced fee of AU$22,000.
