First Stakes Win for Capitalist Mare

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 27

Graham and Linda Huddy are great supporters of racing both on the track and in after racing life care and they got a great result when their Peachester Lodge colours were carried to victory in the Listed BRC Helen Coughlan stakes (1200m) by progressive Capitalist mare Comrade Rosa.

Trained by Tony Gollan, Comrade Rosa has been racing in great form this year and improved on a last start stakes placing to land her first Black Type win.

Taken back from a wide gate, Comrade Rosa let down with a big run out wide for Ryan Maloney to win by the best part of a length.

“So happy for (owners) Graham and Linda. They put so much into racing - not just with me but all throughout Australia,” said Tony Gollan,

"They buy these really nice fillies as yearlings and to win a stakes race for them means the world to me. They're huge supporters.

"I was really disappointed when I saw the barriers at the start of the week. I just didn't know whether she had (it) to come from the barriers that far back to win but she just swooped on them.

"She had improved a lot in two weeks in appearance and there's a lot more to come. I think when we step her out to the 1300 metres of the Dane Ripper in a couple of weeks, you'll see her better again.”

Comrade Rosa was bred and sold by Kitchwin Hills.

A $100,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Peachester Lodge from the Kitchwin Hills draft, Comrade Rosa has five wins and five placings from 17 starts with prizemoney in excess of $288,000.

Comrade Rosa was bred by Kitchwin Hills and is the best of four winners from stakes-winning Redoute’s Choice mare No Looking Back, whose dam Mirror Mirror won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, a race that was famously taken from No Looking Back on protest.

No Looking Back was sold at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale last week for just $40,000 in the Blue Sky Premium Consignment to M & C Bloodstock in foal to Written By.

Comrade Rosa is the 13th stakes-winner for Newgate Farm’s Capitalist and is his seventh this season.
