A $90,000 purchase from the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, King Of Roseau is this week's Buy of the Weekend after earning nine times his yearling price in prizemoney and snagging his first Group victory in the weekend's only black-type race. His performance has buyers Pulse Racing and Pinhook Bloodstock International eager to return to the Capitalist well.
Capitalist 4-year-old King Of Roseau continued his winning ways on Saturday with a sterling effort to take home the G3 Aurie’s Star Handicap at Flemington for Peter Snowden. The gelding was a $90,000 purchase from Ashleigh Thoroughbreds at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for Pulse Racing Thoroughbreds and Pinhook Bloodstock International (FBAA), and has repaid them nine times over, with career earnings soaring to $847,075.
It was only King Of Roseau’s second trip south, having finished third to Yulong’s newest stallions Growing Empire and First Settler in the Listed Poseidon Stakes last September, and the extra 100 metres of the Aurie’s Star’s 1200-metre straight shoot allowed the gelding to take charge of the race.
