The Filly: CAPITALIST x POLISHED GOLD

A precocious filly that we just had to have and thought of highly by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. She was also rated highly by our Racing Manager, David Mourad.

Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr (trainers) comments: Here we have a gorgeous Capitalist filly. Sprinting filly, you’ll see her walk. She has a big strong shoulder, big strong girth. Very pronounced in the wither and knitted up in the knees, which makes me think she will get up and get going as a 2yo. Obviously, she is in the Gold Trail family, so she’s in a very good family. She’s very sprinting build. She has that fast twitch, big solid muscle feel about her. Big hind quarter, pretty tough head for a filly, which I like in my fillies. They need to have some of that strength about them. She is definitely a sprinting, strong good going type filly by Capitalist, out of a good fast family. I think she’s a great opportunity to jump into a filly that will get going and I look forward to training her for Blueblood Racing.

David Mourad (BBT Racing Manager) comments: Lot 237 a very exciting filly by the sire of the moment, Capitalist. Winner of the Millennium with Profiteer. He is just going to be a prolific sire of 2yo’s. She’s a really nice filly this, plenty of substance and quality about her. Comes from a good family, out of a half-sister to Gold Trail, Group 1 winner. So, she’s got the pedigree both on the dam and the sire’s side. I think she is going to get up and race early, I think she was very well bought at $120K. Very exciting, I don’t think she is going to last long. Get in quick if your interested.

Our filly has passed 100% clean on her scope, x-ray and clinical examination.

Sire: CAPITALIST

CAPITALIST 4 wins at 2. Champion 2yo colt in Australia 2015-216. The highest earner of two-year-old prizemoney ever over $3.5 million. Winner of the Sire Making Group 1 Golden Slipper. The first colt to ever win the Breeders’ Plate, Magic Millions and Golden Slipper. Sire of the 2021 Millennium with Profiteer

“Capitalist was the best two-year-old I’ve ever ridden, in the Breeders’ Plate it was like driving a Rolls-Royce. He was breathtaking in the Magic Millions and outstanding against a top-class field in the Golden Slipper.” – Jockey Blake Shinn

“Capitalist was just the perfect two-year-old, blessed with a huge amount of precocity, and ability.”- Co-Trainer Peter Snowden

Capitalist was officially retired to stud at Newgate Farm in November 2016, having chipped a fetlock in training. Manager there, Henry Field, said, “Australia is all about two-year-old racing, and to have a champion two-year-old standing at Newgate is what everyone strives for. Capitalist is the embodiment of what works in Australia – he will be heavily supported by his group of owners.”
