Stakes-winning juvenile and Coolmore Stud Stakes-placed three-year-old I Am Unstoppable will stand at stud in Queensland.
Oaklands Stud principal Neville Stewart has purchased the rising-five-year-old son of I Am Invincible from the sprinter’s syndicate manager, Widden’s Antony Thompson.
Equity in I Am Unstoppable, who was initially trained by Lloyd Kennewell and Lucy Yeomans before joining Ciaron Maher as a four-year-old, was bought by a group of breeders headed by Thompson after the colt’s Group 1 Flemington placing behind Ozzmosis in 2023.
“The Coolmore is one of those iconic races for colts and his run that day was outstanding,” Stewart said.
“He’s a very handsome horse and has the pedigree to match, so when David Chester (Magic Millions) suggested him to us we could see what a good fit he would be for local breeders looking for that Group 1 ability and quality pedigree.
“David brokered the deal and I’d like to thank Antony Thompson for the opportunity to purchase the horse and Widden will have an ongoing interest as they plan to send a few mares to him.
“Many years ago we purchased Lion Hunter through David and I see I Am Unstoppable as the same opportunity for Queensland and Oaklands Stud.”
I Am Unstoppable will stand for a fee of $8800 (inc GST).
