Invincible Spirit – Taranto (Machiavellian)
Oct 1, Special Live Foal. Standing at Dalham Hall Stud, Newmarket

A rich 2023 haul of 18 Group and Stakes performers, led by G1 Sprint Trophy winner Regional. Plus: no fewer than six Group horses among his 2023 juveniles – more than Kodiac, Lope de Vega, Kingman. 13% of runners from his juvenile crop already have Group form – that’s three percent better than Havana Grey’s two-year-olds. His first three crops are led by G1 Prix de l’Opéra and G1 EP Taylor winner Rougir, sold for $3m.
