Life Comes Full Circle for $1.4million Lazzago

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 28

Flying Capitalist filly Lazzago started life at Widden Stud and will be returning to the ‘Valley of Champions’ to continue her stud career after selling at the Magic Millions National Sale on Wednesday for $1.4million.

Bred by long time Widden client Robert Anderson, she was foaled and raised at Widden and sold in their draft at Inglis Easter in 2022 to Debbie Kepitis’s Woppitt Bloodstock for $460,000.

Lazzago quickly made her mark in the Chris Waller stable as a precocious juvenile winning the Group II ATC Sweet Embrace Stakes and banking nearly $400,000 in prizemoney.

She was then sold by Woppitt Bloodstock through Inglis Digital online for $650,000 last June to Kings Bloodstock.

Consigned for this sale by Widden as agent with a positive test to Zoustar, Lazzago always looked a natural fit as a candidate to return home and was knocked down to RMA Bloodstock (Robert Anderson)/Paul Frampton for $1.4million.

Lazzago sold for $1.4million in foal to Zoustar.

“It’s a great result, obviously in-foal to Zoustar. Super-exciting mare, she was so quick, she ran in the Slipper and she got impeded when Learning To Fly hit the deck that year,” said Matt Comerford of Widden Stud.

“She had the credentials of a mare well-suited to Zoustar and she’s let down into a beautiful mare.

“She was actually bred by Robert Anderson on the farm and we offered her as a yearling.

“There was a lot of interest in her and I think she was great buying, in fairness. I know it’s a lot of money, but mares like her were making that yesterday and she’s already in-foal and on the way.”
