December 10 – The first Group I winner for I am Invincible, star three year-old colt Brazen Beau has been purchased by global breeding giant Darley in a move that adds further lustre to the evolving career of our young emerging star stallion. Darley’s Managing Director in Australia Henry Plumptre said, “We are delighted to have secured Brazen Beau for stud duties next year. We identified him as a top class colt after his win in the Roman Consul Stakes in Sydney and it was no surprise to us when he won the Coolmore as impressively as he did. “It is hoped that he will be able to underline his ability with an autumn campaign taking in two of this country’s best sprints before running at Royal Ascot. He is a powerful type and as a Group I winner already he’ll be a popular addition to our roster when he retires to take up stud duties at Northwood Park for the 2015 season.” Harry Mitchell of Yarraman Park sees the Darley acquisition of Brazen Beau as a massive positive for his sire. “To have a global operation such as Darley purchase his first Group I winning son can only be seen as a real vote of confidence in the long term potential for I Am Invincible,” said Mitchell. “He’s done all that we have asked of him to date and exceeded expectation at every turn. “He’s just coming to the end of covering his best ever book of mares and we look forward to watching his career go from strength to strength in coming years.” I Am Invincible has 31 entries for the 2015 Magic Millions and 25 for Inglis Classic.
