Description

Godfather is a stakes-winning son of I Am Invincible out of the Group 2 winner Meliora, also making him a full-brother to the Group winning sprinter and stallion I Am Immortal.

Godfather is lightly-raced, and won the Listed Phelan Ready Stakes on debut, beating subsequent Group winner Cifrado in great style. He has only had four starts since, and was a very creditable second at metropolitan level at Doomben on 6th March.

To our knowledge he is sound and fit to resume his preparation, he is currently spelling at Kolora Lodge since his run on 6th March

He had a tie-back surgery on his throat and a chip removed from each knee in April 2023, and has trialled and raced well since the surgery.

He is for sale as he does not fit the owners' aims of racing stallion prospects.
