Wooloowin’s rise through the ranks for Newcastle horseman Nathan Doyle continued in Saturday’s Magic Millions Rising Stars 3YO & 4YO Class 4 Plate (1300m) for fillies and mares at the Sunshine Coast.
The daughter of Capitalist advanced her record to four wins from only seven starts with a dominant two-and-a-half length victory in the lucrative $250,000 contest, comfortably defeating Bjorn Baker’s Infatuation and Ciaron Maher’s Until Valhalla.
Doyle, who paid $80,000 for the daughter of Capitalist out of the Kingstar Farm draft at 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, said the victory was reward for the patience of the mare’s connections.
“She was very dominant,” Doyle said.
“Me and Jason (Collett) had a plan about what we wanted to do in the gates to get her to step better and she did step better so she didn’t have to do too much work.
“It was a perfect ride and it was a pretty easy watch from the top of the straight.
“She had 12 months off the scene because she had a knee issue and then we had her ready to go and there were plenty of wet tracks in the middle of the year but I didn’t want to push the button so I said to the owners that I wanted to tip her out again.
“They showed patience and they’ve been rewarded.
“She’s still only lightly raced, she’s only a four-year-old and I think she’s got many more wins to come.”
Wooloowin is one of 81 winners for Capitalist, enjoying his usual consistently successful season and will have 38 on offer at this week’s Magic Millions Yearling Sale.
