New Group 1 winners
Yarraman Park's I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) sired his 13th Group 1 winner – fourth this season - on Saturday when Lombardo (5 g ex Swinging Babe by Encosta De Lago) won The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville. A $300,000 purchase by Aquis Farm and Mick Price Racing & Breeding at the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Lombardo took his record to eight wins and two placings in 16 career starts when he beat Halvorsen (Magnus) by a length and a half. I Am Invincible is now back at the head of the leading sires table in Australia by earnings, with his earnings at $180,843 ahead of So You Think (High Chaparral). The son of Invincible Spirit (Green Desert) leads the table by winners sits second in the table by stakes winners – two behind Snitzel (Redoute's Choice) for the season.

The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained Maximillius (2 c ex Scandiva by Fastnet Rock) broke his maiden in Saturday's Group 3 David Coles AM Stakes (1200m), giving Yulong Stud's Written Tycoon (Iglesia) his 48th stakes winner. Bred by Rob Crabtree's Dorrington Farm, Maximillius becomes the third winner from as many foals to race out of Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed mare Scandiva (Fastnet Rock), with this being the family of Black Caviar (Bel Esprit), All Too Hard (Casino Prince) and Ole Kirk – another son of Written Tycoon. Maximillius is one of 11 stakes winners sired by Written Tycoon this season with his leading earner being dual Group 3 winning juvenile Coolangatta, who also finished third in the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in March.
Congratulations to Rob Crabtree on his blueblood 2YO colt Maximillius (Written Tycoon x Scandiva) taking out the G3 David Coles AM S. for @MickPriceRacing at @RacingSA!
