Lazzago Set to Star on Inglis Digital

Media Release - Tuesday June 4

The G2-winning 2YO Lazzago (Capitalist) headlines a host of appealing race fillies and mares already confirmed for next week’s Inglis Digital June (Early) Online Sale.

The Chris Waller-trained Lazzago, a $460,000 Inglis Easter yearling, was one of the standout 2YOs of her generation.

She debuted with a strong Sydney Metropolitan victory, defeating subsequent G2 placed 2YO Snapback, before being beaten just 1.4 lengths in the $2m Inglis Millennium at her second race start behind G1 filly Learning To Fly.

She then stepped up to G2 company and recorded a dominant victory in key Golden Slipper lead-up the Sweet Embrace Stakes before training on at three to finish second to exciting filly Estriella at G3 level.

Over the course of her two seasons of racing, Lazzago defeated the likes of Zardozi, Platinum Jubilee, Skirt The Law, Ulanova, Kristilli,  Arkansaw Kid, Facile, Saltaire, Blanc de Blanc, Summer Loving etc.

Lazzago is out of a half sister to Stakes winner Taameer, who is in turn the dam of Stakes-winning 2YOs Khulaasa and Bulbula, the latter the dam of high-class pair Doull and Aryaaf.

A half brother to Lazzago, by Zoustar, was purchased as a yearling for $800,000 by Tom Magnier earlier this year, while her dam was covered by Zoustar last Spring.  

She will be offered by Woppitt Bloodstock as a racing and breeding prospect in the Inglis Digital June (Early) Sale.

Woppitt’s Debbie Kepitis described Lazzago as “a wonderful race filly with so much ability’’.

“She was a gorgeous yearling firstly and impressed Chris right from the early days,” Kepitis said. 

“It was fantastic for her to win on debut pre-Christmas and then her Inglis Millennium performance and of course her G2 Sweet Embrace Stakes victory at just her third career start.

“She had some excellent form as a 3YO and has a pedigree with a lot more to give.

“The beauty of Inglis Digital is the timeliness of it. It’s brilliant that we can offer these high class fillies and mares whenever we want to, right in time for the breeding season in this instance. In the earlier days we were stuck with certain timings, but now with the Inglis Digital platform, they’re noticed immediately all over the world.’’

Lazzago is one of several quality fillies and mares already confirmed for the June (Early) Sale including:
