Soorena breaks million barrier

THE record price for a yearling sold in Victoria was smashed on Monday at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale when Ciaron Maher and his clients paid A$1.4 million for the I Am Invincible colt out of the Encosta De Lago mare Soorena. Offered by Gilgai Farm, the colt is a half-brother to the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap winner The Quarterback and the dual-Group 2 winner Philippi, who was runner-up in the Australian Derby before being sold to Hong Kong.
