Strasbourg
Service Fee: Private (Payment On Live Foal)
- Sire: I Am Invincible
- Dam: Danish Spy
- Sire of Dam: Dane Shadow
The magnificent, Yarraman Park-Austin Miller bred STRASBOURG caught the eye of many a good judge upon his arrival at Rosemont in 2020.
A stunning individual with great power and presence.
First crop 2yo’s in 2024 include the likes of Stormbourg’ a fast-finishing 3rd in the $1m Showdown at Caulfield whilst the Peter Moody trained ‘Flying Straz’ was an eye-catching place-getter on debut in the Listed Cinderella Stakes.
OVERVIEW
Race Record
The highest rated son of sire sensation I Am Invincible to stand in Victoria since Brazen Beau retired here in 2015, Strasbourg is a Group 2 winning, multiple stakes performer in his juvenile season and one of the most precocious son of ‘Vinnie’ to stand anywhere in Australia.
A 2yo that Peter Snowden felt was an “elite talent” and Jockey Tommy Berry described as ‘electric’, Strasbourg was considered a Golden Slipper horse early in his career after a brilliant debut victory prior to Christmas – a reflection of his extreme precocity.
Physically, he is a special physical and has let down superbly.
