Heavenly Barb

Anders was one of Not A Single Doubt’s fastest sons, winning the Rosebud (LR) then the San Domenico Stakes (G3) as an early three year-old in race record time. This colt is part of his first crop and based on the types he’s producing, very much in the mould of his sire Not a Single Doubt, he’s real chance of making it at stud. The colt is out of an I Am Invincible mare, who’s starting to put himself on the map as a broodmare sire, not least of all through the deeds of our own Asfoora. Like Asfoora’s dam, Heavenly Barb was only lightly raced and won a sprinting Maiden before being retired to stud. Her first foal, a colt by Sooboog was retained to race by the owners and now named Invinciboo, has had three quiet jumpouts and looks to have ability.

This colt has a terrific temperament and brain, and physically is a lovely mix of Not a Single Doubt and I Am Invincible. He’s a strong but compact sprinting type who looks precocious and early. He’s got a great depth of girth, a decent length of rein for a sprinter and is powerful behind the saddle. He has all the attributes one could hope for in young horse earmarked to be racing early.
