Capitalist, the unbeaten colt after two starts, winning the Breeders Stakes at Randwick and the Magic Millions Classic at Wyong last Thursday, is a firm favourite to win the Magic Millions Classic on the Gold Coast.

He looks the real deal now after his easy win at Wyong, it was simply a walk in the park, he didn’t even raise a sweat.

Claro El Banco, who led all the way to win at Ballarat, showed the same pace at Wyong until the home turn but wilted soon after.

The best that Jason Petch can expect from Claro El Banco is minor stake money, he will be safely held by the favourite Capitalist.

Bookmakers are currently quoting $1.60, he only needs to draw a favourable gate and he will shorten further.

A win in the Millions does not necessarily mean that he will run in the Golden Slipper, there are nine weeks between both races and it is not really ideal, it may even test the skills of Peter Snowden.

An unbeaten colt with a good pedigree has sound residual value as a potential sire, more so if his race record remains unblemished.

The only horse to win the Magic Millions and the Golden Slipper Stakes was Dance Hero, he was a gelding.

Peter Snowden, who excels with two years olds, is a master of his trade, he seldom gets carried away with horses, he knows only too well they can let you down when you least expect it.

Capitalist, a $165,000 yearling purchase was bought on type, and he did look the goods earlier this year at the Gold Coast sales and has already squared the ledger, it is all up from here.

Bred by Jan Clarke at Daandine Stud, this year she is offering a half sister to Capitalist, by Real Saga, on the second session of the sales as Lot 357.

She would be an excellent addition to any breeder as it is a very sound family, enhanced by the presence of Capitalist, this is an outstanding female family, it does not get much better than Bold Promise , Merlene, Dear Demi and Miss Pennymoney.
