Capitalist put his stamp on the Magic Millions National Yearling Sale on Wednesday when the third last lot in the ring, a filly bred and offered for sale by Melbourne Cup winning jockey Scott Seamer, proved the day’s top seller when fetching $340,000.
Local trainer Kacy Fogden purchased the filly from Kimigayo, a half-sister by Show a Heart to the dams of champion sprinter / Group I sire Starspangledbanner and Group I winner Amicus.
The filly was the pride and joy of her breeder, former superstar jockey Scott Seamer, a winner of numerous Group One races including a famous Caulfield and Melbourne Cup double aboard Ethereal.
She comes with a huge pedigree as her family also features blue hen Circles of Gold and champions Elvstroem, Haradasun and Highland Reel.
“I waited all day for this filly,” Fogden said. “We had to pay every bit for her I thought, but she was well worth it.
“It’s a gun family and such a great physical, two-year-old type. She was an absolute queen.
“I bought the horse off Scotty Seamer, so who knows, he might be able to come out and ride her for us one day. He’s an absolute legend, so it was nice to buy her (off him).
“We’ll syndicate her and she will race in the pink Blue Sky colours.”
As well as being the sire of the day’s most expensive filly, Capitalist supplied the top selling colt, the youngster from Anabaa’s Legacy who sold for $260,000 to Tony Fung Investments.
A member of the Lustre Lodge draft, he is a half-brother to the exciting Queensland based stakes-placed galloper Wolf Moon and is from a Group performed daughter of Anabaa (USA).
