Champion Queensland trainer Tony Gollan has a very smart juvenile in exciting Capitalist colt Capital Tower, who won the $125,000 Jewel Prelude (1100m) at Toowoomba on Saturday.
Capital Tower chimed in for James Orman and raced clear to win by a length and has now won three from three with bigger goals to come.
Capital Tower was a $600,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Vinery Stud draft for John Foote Bloodstock and has already banked in excess of $154,000 in prizemoney.
Bred by Brian and Noela Backshall’s John Stuart Investments, Capital Tower is the first foal of Eiffel Tower a half-sister by Stratum to stakes-winner Sangria out of the blue blood stakes-placed Encosta de Lago mare Quench The Thirst.
John Stuart Investments purchased Eiffel Tower for $200,000 from the Newgate Consignment at the 2019 MM National Broodmare Sale when carrying Capital Tower.
Her dam Quench the Thirst is one of four daughters of Redoute’s Choice’s sister Monsoon Wedding to make $1million more at the Teeley Asset Dispersal. She was knocked down to Newgate for $1.5million.
Eiffel Tower has missed the past two seasons to Russian Revolution, but maybe it will be third time lucky as she was covered again by him in early September last year.
