G1 Golden Slipper winner Capitalist (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}–Kitalpha {NZ}, by Fusaichi Pegasus) will stand for a covering fee of A$55,000, Newgate Farm have announced. Tagged a 'TDN Rising Star' when making a winning juvenile debut for Peter and Paul Snowden in the Listed Breeders' Plate at Randwick in October 2015 Capitalist also added the valuable Magic Millions 2YO Classic en route to winning the Golden Slipper almost twelve months ago. The A$165,000 yearling purchase by James Harron was retired after finishing third in the G2 Star Roman Consul S. at Randwick in October and Newgate Farm and partners have since been busy assembling a smart band of mares to visit Capitalist in his first season at stud. “Naturally with such an impeccable profile we have been inundated with people wanting to book in mares. Having a Golden Slipper-winning champion two-year-old standing at Newgate is what you dream of as a studmaster, said Newgate's Henry Field. “Capitalist's initial book will be hand-crafted to give him every opportunity to be the champion stallion I'm confident he will become, with a number of top-class Group-winning and producing mares already committed. We have now finalised his standing arrangements and a limited number of shares have been made available for top breeders.”
