AFTER the first two sessions of Book 1 of the Gold Coast Magic Millions yearling sale, nine yearlings have sold for seven figures or greater, with just one breaking through the A$2 million barrier, the I Am Invincible filly out of Eloping, a full-sister to the Champion three-year-old filly of 2022/’23, In Secret. The Eloping filly sold for A$2.3 million to Ian Moses and John Sargent.

“She was the dominant filly. Great temperament. I realised that if you want to be in this business at the top end, you’ve got to put in the investment,” said Ian Moses, who has been a long-term client of trainer John Sargeant, who will train the filly. “The long-term strategy is to have at least 10 high quality broodmares stationed at Coolmore and I’m almost up to 10 now on the track and at the stud farm,” added Moses.
