Supporting the career of a stallion like I Am Invincible takes an ever-improving broodmare band, lush
pastures, and a team of experienced horse people. Yarraman Park’s results speak to the quality systems that support a culture of continual improvement. With a long heritage in the Australian racing industry, Yarraman Park doesn’t rest on its laurels, but works to bring the highest quality of horses to market. Arthur and Harry Mitchell are proud of the farm’s record of producing 29 black type winners since 2020 alone.
Home to reigning Champion Sire I Am Invincible, Yarraman Park Stud has a long history of breeding and selling brilliant racehorses. Yarraman Park Stud’s recent graduates include stakes winners Shuffle Dancer, Quantico, Godfather, Madeira Sunrise, King Of Sparta and highlighted by dual G1 winner Al Muthana. “Vinnie is a sire that is proven to throw top class Racehorses and our ten yearlings by him are a very good representation of his elite stock. It’s a good even draft right across the board,” said Arthur Mitchell. “People want to buy from studs that produce winners, and we are doing that with plenty of winners coming off the farm.
With seventeen yearlings in their 2023 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale draft, and ten by Champion Sire I Am Invincible, the Yarraman Park Stud draft offers an opportunity to buy into some beautiful families. With fourteen Gr1 winners, I Am Invincible is closing in on 100 stakes winners with only a few to go to get to the milestone. Only two months into 2023, and he’s already sired Gr1 Waikato Sprint and Gr1 Railway Stakes winner Imperatriz, Gr2 Light Fingers Stakes winner In Secret, Gr2 Angus Armanasco Stakes winner Shuffle Dancer, Gr3 Southern Cross Stakes winner Quantico, Listed Lonhro Plate winner Madeira Sunrise, Listed Magic Millions Cup winner Vinco, and Listed Canterbury Sprint Handicap winner I Am Me.
