Captivant (AUS)

2018 Capitalist (Written Tycoon) x Speedboat (Commands)
Kia Ora Stallions

Captivant was sharp enough to win a Victory Vein over 1000m pre-Christmas, superior enough to be a G1 Champagne Stakes-winning two-year-old, and classy enough to fight out a Caulfield Guineas with Anamoe. Timeform rated 121, Captivant is the best son of Champion 2YO Capitalist and descends from one of Australia’s most exciting sirelines. First yearlings have sold up to $340k in 2025.
