Overview

Invading force! A top 5 Australian First Season Sire by winners in 2021/22, Invader went from strength to strength, becoming the first second season sire of his generation (including Russian Revolution, Hellbent, Churchill etc.) to produce a Group 1 winner – Sunshine In Paris. (Sunshine In Paris would subsequently be sold for $3.9 million at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale and this season won the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes and finished 2nd in the Group 1 The Galaxy).

Invader has continued what he started too with top class performers such as Vegas Raider (Inglis 2YO Challenge), Storm The Fortress, Celtic Vader, Victory Lane, Spaceship, Kitri and multiple city winners Robrick and Coincide.

A Champion son of Champion Sire Snitzel, Invader’s victory in the Gr.1 Sires’ Produce Stakes during his juvenile season was nothing short of sensational.

Stepping up to 1400m for the first time, the colt settled five lengths behind the early leaders before bursting clear at the 50m mark to win by three-quarters of a length.

In what was one of the strongest fields in the history of the race, Invader defeated fellow Gr.1-winning Snitzel colt Summer Passage, with subsequent Champion 3YO and four-time Gr.1 winner Trapeze Artist, also by Snitzel, back in third. Previous winners of the race include Gr.1 stallions Pierro, Helmet, Manhattan Rain, Sebring, Viscount, Octagonal and Tierce.

Invader has been highly sought after at stud, with great support by breeders including Australian Bloodstock, B2B Thoroughbreds, Bowness Stud, Canning Downs, Dorrington Farm, Edinburgh Park, Emirates Park, Evergreen Stud, Kenmore, Kia Ora, Laurel Oak Bloodstock, Murrulla Stud, Riversdale, Rosemont, Vieira Group and Willow Park Stud.

Invader has the all-important Australian market requirements of precocity, speed and conformation and being by Snitzel and out of a black-type Encosta de Lago mare he is positioned to continue the legacy of Champion Sires Danehill, Redoute’s Choice and Snitzel before him and become the next sire-sensation in Australia.

Invader’s yearlings have sold exceptionally well, selling up to $550,000.
