(Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Invincible Woman announced herself on the racing stage with a dazzling performance in the $250,000 Magic Millions Victoria 2YO Classic (1100m) at Caulfield on Saturday, earning a berth in next month’s $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) on the Gold Coast. Trained by Lloyd Kennewell and Lucy Yeomans, the filly displayed raw speed and exceptional talent under jockey Damian Lane, leading the field from the start and surging to a near three-length victory paying $3.70 with Picklebet. The daughter of champion sire I Am Invincible, Invincible Woman was purchased for $250,000 from Widden Stud’s Magic Millions Yearling Sale draft. She is the third winner from stakes-placed mare Showcase, a half-sister to Group III winner Disposition. Her triumph marks a significant milestone for Kennewell and Yeomans, who selected her as their first joint yearling purchase after forming their training partnership 18 months ago. “She’s very natural and very quick,” Lane said. “She’s just doing it on raw ability right now, and this experience will only make her better.” Despite an awkward start, Invincible Woman’s pace carried her to the lead, where she dictated the tempo before accelerating off the bend to defeat Zouclaire. BlondeBet favourite Bacash rounded out the placings in third.

Yeomans expressed excitement about the group’s opportunity to vie for the $500,000 Women’s Bonus at the Magic Millions 2YO Classic. “It’s a prestigious race, and while the bonus is appealing, we’ll let the filly tell us if she’s ready. She’s not just a two-year-old; we think she has a bright future.” Kennewell noted the filly’s progression leading into her debut, highlighting the team’s initial consideration of giving her a spell before her strong trial performances prompted them to press on. “She kept taking it to another level,” he said. “This win is no surprise to me, but it’s a testament to her talent.” Invincible Woman has now firmed into $11 with the top Australian horse racing bookmakers for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, solidifying her status as a key contender for one of Australia’s premier juvenile races.
