In a move that further illustrates the global prowess of the operation, Yulong and partners landed 10-time Group 1 winner Imperatriz (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) for a record A$6.6m (€4,039,810) at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.

It was Yulong that saw off the attention of Coolmore for Te Akau Racing's superstar racemare with the new connections of Imperatriz revealing that the 5-year-old is likely to remain retired from racing.

Bidding for the 13-time winner, who was trained for the majority of her career by Mark Walker, opened up at a whopping A$4m. It was Yulong's Zhijun Zhao who did the bidding online to secure the winning bid.

American billionaire John Stewart, who was vocal in the build-up to the sale and even vowed to pay up to $6 million for Imperatriz, was not involved in the bidding. The previous broodmare sale record set in Australia was $5 million for Milanova back in 2008.
