Sean Dingwall and his family have spent years developing the Caithness Breeding brand and got a big result at Inglis Premier on Monday when selling a $600,000 Capitalist colt.

A half-brother to stakes-placed Alshibaah, the powerhouse colt was bought by Boomer Bloodstock/ Lindsey Smith and is the sixth foal from Asheerah, a winning Redoute’s Choice daughter of Group I winner Rewaaya, who comes from the Nasmah branch of the famed Easy Date family.

“It’s amazing and humbling. It’s by far our highest ever result at this sale, I think the previous best was about 230k. It’s all a bit surreal at the moment,” said Sean Dingwall.

“He’s gone to a lovely stable in Lindsey Smith, so he’ll get every chance.”

The star colt is the sixth foal of Asheerah, a Shadwell Stud bred mare that was bought by Caithness Breeding for $80,000 from the Yarraman Park draft at the 2018 Inglis Broodmare Sale when in foal to Brazen Beau.

The result of that mating was a filly that Caithness sold for $135,000 as a weanling and after missing the next year to Deep Field, she produced the Capitalist colt that has proven to be a game changer.

Capitalist is enjoying sensational results at Inglis Premier with 11 yearlings averaging $197,273 during the first two sessions.
