A stunning chestnut Capitalist colt was the star of the show at the Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale on Sunday fetching $280,000 for Kingstar Farm when purchased by Darby Racing.
The first foal from well bred Sebring mare Princess Joy Joy – a sister-in-blood to $7million earner Criterion – will likely be trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.
“We’ve had a good couple of weeks and he was the stand out colt obviously on pedigree and type here today,” Scott Darby said.
“He’s an A1 physical, athletic, just quality and really stood out here.
“You know you get those horses that when they come out and stand, they just go bang, that was this colt, he had great balance.”
Kingstar Farm’s Adam Cook was thrilled with the result.
“He is a lovely colt by a very good sire and was entitled to sell very well,” Cook said.
“He was very popular during inspections and while I was a little worried that he was selling at the end of the day, it didn’t make a difference – everyone waited for him!
