A record breaking Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale concluded on Wednesday with Capitalist producing the highest priced filly of the sale.
Consigned by Kambula Stud, the second foal from well related metropolitan winning Fastnet Rock mare Tagreeda was purchased by Clarken Racing.
“We thought she was the best filly here,” Will Clarken said.
“She is all class and you can see the Fastnet Rock coming through in her and she is by a gun stallion.
“She has a massive hindquarter and a massive shoulder. She was the horse we were here to buy. We had some help from a bloodstock agent who came down from Sydney and he thought she was the best Capitalist he’d seen all season.”
The filly comes from the family of four time G1 winning Champion Filly Alinghi and ill-fated sire Beneteau.
Flying Artie also made his presence felt with a filly from Waveline (USA) fetching $220,000 for Goodwood Farm when bought by Proven Thoroughbreds, who have a great record at this sale having bought Group I ATC Epsom Handicap winner Private Eye from Adelaide in 2019.
The filly is a half-sister to three winners including stakes-placed Waimea Bay and her dam was a G3 placed stakes-winner in North America.
