After a record-equalling first season, which saw him join More Than Ready in siring 11 individual stakes horses, more than any other sires in Australian history, Capitalist now heads the leading second-season sire race with a healthy $200,000 margin over Maurice and is more than $1,000,000 ahead of third-placed Star Turn.
From the first crop for the JHB Colt Partnership, Capitalist has proven to be the dream result for our owners, all of whom have retained an interest in him as a stallion, as his fee for 2021 gained a well-earned boost to $99,000 from $44,000 in 2020. With his incredible fertility, and now proven performance, he exemplifies what we set out to do with our Colt Partnership in building stallion equity for our partners that will provide a substantial income for many years.
We are greatly looking forward to getting back into the sales season early in 2022, beginning with the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and inspecting the next crop by this hugely exciting young stallion.
