Sire: CAPITALIST

CAPITALIST  4 wins at 2. Champion 2yo colt in Australia 2015-216. The highest earner of two-year-old prizemoney ever over $3.5 million. Winner of the Sire Making Group 1 Golden Slipper. The first colt to ever win the Breeders’ Plate, Magic Millions and Golden Slipper. Sire of the 2021 Millennium winner, Profiteer.

“Capitalist was the best two-year-old I’ve ever ridden in the Breeders’ Plate, it was like driving a Rolls-Royce. He was breathtaking in the Magic Millions and outstanding against a top-class field in the Golden Slipper.” – Jockey Blake Shinn

“Capitalist was just the perfect two-year-old, blessed with a huge amount of precocity, and ability.”- Co-Trainer Peter Snowden

Capitalist keeps going from strength to strength. He is Australia’s leading second season sire of winners by winnings and earnings, with the likes of CAPTIVANT, PROFITEER, TYCOON HUMMA & KALASHNIKOV.

Capitalist was officially retired to stud at Newgate Farm in November 2016, having chipped a fetlock in training. Manager there, Henry Field, said, “Australia is all about two-year-old racing, and to have a champion two-year-old standing at Newgate is what everyone strives for. Capitalist is the embodiment of what works in Australia – he will be heavily supported by his group of owners.”

Dam: DREAM CIRQUE 

Dream Cirque is by Dream Ahead (USA). This is her fourth foal. Dream Cirque has a strong black type family being related to stakes winners SUN MARSHAL, PICCADILLY CIRCUS and champion racehorse and sire, FASTNET ROCK. 

Dream Cirque is also the dam of Group 2 winner and Group 1 performer, LIGHTSABER, which Peter Moody trains and is the half-brother to this colt.

The Trainer: PETER MOODY

Peter Moody is considered to be one of the greatest trainers in this industry, training the best horse the world has ever witnessed namely, Black Caviar. Peter Moody stats speak for themselves with 2577 career wins with 56 at Group 1 level amassing over $115 million in prizemoney.

Peter’s strike rate is not short of amazing with a win strike rate of 18% and an incredible Group 1 strike rate of 10%. He will set up his return to training with boxes at Pakenham.

Peter Moody has commented, “I am [excited]. I am a bit tentative about it. I have to learn to get back out there again and get on the tools again, but not too much has changed,” he said. “There is no doubt I’ll be a better trainer this time around because I’m going to be more relaxed and be able to manage my time much better, and I’ll have a smaller team.”
