Yearling filly, Capitalist x Relargo
Here is a beautiful filly by former Champion 2YO colt Capitalist, an exceptional young sprinter and one of the best 2YO’s of the modern era, from a young Encosta De Lago mare that we have the inside running on.
Brad purchased this filly for existing owners out of the paddock after she passed in at the Inglis Classic Sale in February. He was impressed by her physique and her attitude and she has a great walk on her. Importantly, she is the second foal of a young mare from a blue blood family – Relargo hails from the direct family of Fastnet Rock and it is a very strong pedigree full of black type and Group 1 form.
We own the older 3/4 sister by Written Tycoon called “The Cure” and we know she is a very smart young racehorse. She will be set for Group and Listed races in the spring in 2020 and could add serious residual value to this Capitalist filly.
There is big upside with this filly, race and then realise her value off the track.
Private buying pays off
As well as actively buying at auctions around Australia and New Zealand, the Spicer Thoroughbreds also pursue private purchase options on behalf of our owners.
March was a busy week for private buys with two beautiful yearling fillies from fast families and a young broodmare joining the team for our owners. Brad successfully negotiated to purchase a filly by leading stallion Written Tycoon from the Zamindar mare Invested Capital who has a deep family with black type performances in Australia and Europe.
Another filly followed that purchase, this time by Written Tycoon’s Golden Slipper and Magic Millions winning son Capitalist, from the Encosta De Lago mare Relargo – a young mare from the direct family of superstar sprinter and Champion Stallion Fastnet Rock. Coincidentally, Relargo was our last private purchase in March with the broodmare purchased on behalf of a small group of owners to join the broodmare band at Leneva Park.
“As a bloodstock management business we’re responsible to go and source the best possible stock we can to fill orders for our owners, and sometimes we have to pursue those options privately,” explained Brad Spicer.
“The Capitalist filly and her dam Relargo, that was a strategic buy to really get into that family. It’s a similar story with the Written Tycoon filly, we have a close relation that we really like so we saw some good upside there for her new owners. If things go the way we hope on the track, all three will increase in value without setting foot on a race track.”
