The SIRE - Rubick a brilliantly fast son of Champion stallion Encosta de Lago and from the superb female family of Redoute’s Choice {Best in Show family}.
The DAM- Mining Tycoon was a very smart race mare although just a winner of one metro race in Brisbane, herself a granddaughter of wonder producer Shantha’s Choice and thus colt is inbred to Shantha’s Choice 3X3 and in the most desirable form through a daughter in Sliding Cube and a son in Redoute’s Choice. This pattern has appeared in many outstanding horses internationally and locally, the inbreeding to Shantha’s Choice has produced stakes winners.
The family can be rightfully claimed as one of the best in Australasia. The “Denise’s Joy” is an elite and still, a very current family, the Group 1 stars are so numerous~ Joie Denise, Tuesday Joy, Sunday Joy, More Joyous, Fenway, Euphoria, Thorn Park, Bentley Biscuit etc.

The SIRE - I Am Invincible has made an incredible start to his career and is the most sort after young sire in the country, you just have to have one!
The DAM- She’s a Wildcat is an unraced sister to the Group 1 winner and Group 1 producing sire Foxwedge and to the Listed winner She’s a Fox. The second dam Forest Native is by Forest Wildcat, a son of Storm Cat who I witnessed and studied post-race after winning a stakes race at Keeneland back in 1997. I thought he had a great physical sprinting appearance at the time and who later went on to be a very successful sire and leading sire after commencing his career at just $US 7,500.
