Around the traps... ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/04/880x400/ad32bedeb98b70129412274fbc2d2cf2.jpg) Above - Hedged is flying the flag for RTD in Sydney this weekend taking on the best 3YO's in the country in the Gr2 Arrowfield Stud Stakes worth $1m Another really busy week for the team with runners all over the country, sales in Sydney, and plenty of horse movements as we prepare for carnivals in Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane over the next 3 months. On the track was a bit of a nightmare with only two third placings for the week. We had three favourites go around on Saturday from 4 runners in Victoria, Queensland and Adelaide. In fact we had 3 runners in 40 minutes and couldn't get a winner, which is frustrating for our owners and us. We have had a golden run of late so sometimes it feels unfair when you get beat but that is the racing game. This weekend we will see Hedged in Sydney for Day 2 of the Championships in the Gr2 Arrowfield Stud Stakes, which is exciting for his owners who will fly up for the weekend and be part of the action. We will also shortly send Barbaric Lad to Queensland for the winter carnival in a bid to get some valuable black type into his pedigree. Finally we attended the Inglis Easter Sale last Sunday and bought a cracking Capitalist colt who looks a real running 2YO type. See below for details on how to get involved with him.
He's the one! Our stallion making colt for 2024 Only 10% left...do not miss out! ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/04/880x400/dfa492ed57c9432f5cffb4f3c094e8fc.jpg) Above - Lot 145 a cracking colt by Capitalist out of the Gr3 winning mare Meryl We really opened the shoulders this Easter at the Inglis Sales and for good reason. This is the colt for 2024 that we hope is the life changer for RTD owners. We have purchased two colts to date who have gone on and had stud careers, Mahuta and Profiteer, and we think this colt has all the ingredients to make this our third. We have bought home a cracking colt by Capitalist and it's a sire that we have had great success with. This colt has it all, size, strength, presence, and an amazing attitude to just get on with the job. Buying from Inglis Easter ensures you know what you are buying. It's the last major sale of the year and the yearlings are nearly fully developed compared to the earlier sales where you have to use your imagination a little more. We don't need to use our imagination with this bloke, he's all quality and an early going type. Born in August he has had plenty of time and we have already sent him to be educated with Nathan Dunn at Cranbourne. The comparisons with Profiteer our colt from 2021 are uncanny in looks, but that's not the reason we purchased him. This is a nicer colt from a confirmation point of view, with a better pedigree, and so we should be having to fork out $320K to get him. As Mick Price said, if he was by Snitzel or Written Tycoon he is a seven figure colt. So we think we shopped well and found that hole in the market at that price given the success we have had with the Capitalist breed (Profiteer now at stud and Hedged running in the Gr2 Arrowfield Stud Stakes at Randwick on Saturday for $1m in prizemoney). The colt's dam, Meryl, is a multiple Group 3 winner and Group 2 placed herself and an excellent performed mare so you are guaranteed tremendous value if this colt can win early races and get black type from a stud value proposition. Only 10% remaining and a cost of $19,845 for 5% this colt will be sold out by the weekend. Click on the striped video box below to check out Mick Price and Jeremy Rogers opinion of him!
