Gr.1-winning Two-Year-Old by Champion I Am Invincible

Unbeaten Gr.1-winning two-year-old Vinrock is the latest exciting recruit to join Yulong’s stallion ranks. By Australian Champion sire I Am Invincible, out of a mare by breed shaper Redoute’s Choice, Vinrock combines class, elite juvenile form and a standout pedigree.

Bred by Rosemont Stud and sold at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Vinrock is out of Gr.2 winner Girl Gone Rockin’, herself a half-sister to Gr.1 performer Syreon, out of the multiple Stakes-winning New Zealand mare Sorrento. 

A proudly Victorian product, Vinrock is the culmination of two of Australia’s most preeminent stallions of the modern age. His sire I Am Invincible requires little introduction, as a three-time Australian Champion sire now cementing his legacy through his sons at stud, while Vinrock’s Stakes-winning dam is by the legendary Redoute’s Choice, a Champion sire and broodmare sire, whose daughters have already produced exceptional stallions at stud such as Zoustar and Super Seth.

Vinrock made a winning debut at Pakenham at two, progressing to the Gr.2 VRC Sires’ Produce on only his second start, and winning by two lengths from Stakes winner Brave Design. Making the trip to Syndey for his next engagement, Vinrock became the first horse in 44 years to claim both the VRC and ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes with a stunning victory at Royal Randwick, in the second fastest time in a decade.

“He’s a ripping colt. He’s got a good brain, he’s fantastic to ride, he’s got great recovery and he’s just tough” said trainer Matt Laurie following Vinrock’s Gr.1 Sires’ Produce win. This also marked a poignant moment in his own sire I Am Invincible’s illustrious career, with Vinrock the first horse by the Champion to win an Australian Group 1 at two.

Vinrock returned at three to add further Black Type to his record, with a second victory at Flemington in the Listed Exford Plate carrying the Yulong silks, before a gallant fourth in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas.

Yulong’s Chief Operating Officer, Sam Fairgray, said Vinrock possessed all the ingredients breeders seek in a young stallion.

“Vinrock is an exceptional colt. Elite performances at two, an outstanding page, and a real physical presence. To win both the VRC and ATC Sires’ Produce races in the same season is so rare and speaks volumes about his class, toughness, and natural ability.

“He’s a son of I Am Invincible, and from a high-quality Redoute’s Choice mare like Zoustar, Anamoe and Super Seth, which gives him a pedigree that will really resonate with breeders, and we’re excited to welcome him to the farm.”

Physically imposing and blessed with the natural speed synonymous with his sireline, Vinrock now begins the next chapter of his career – and if his racing career is anything to go by, the stage is set.
