Capitalist (Written Tycoon), Deep Field (Northern Meteor) and Flying Artie (Artie Schiller) have all received significant fee increases on the back of a remarkable autumn in which the Newgate Farm stallions all sired Gr.1 winners during the Sydney and Melbourne carnivals. The trio, standing for A$99,000, A$88,000 and A$33,000 respectively, head the Newgate Farm roster as the Hunter Valley stud cements its place as one of Australia’s premier stallion operations.
It was announced last week that fellow Newgate first-crop 2YO stallion Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt), the sire of Golden Slipper Stakes winner Stay Inside, will cover a restricted book of mares at a private fee.
Newgate had held off announcing its 2021 stallion fees until after Saturday’s ATC Gr.1 Champagne Stakes and the decision paid off with Captivant, a son of Capitalist and raced by the stud principal Henry Field and China Horse Club-led colts partnership, winning the second-last 2YO Gr.1 race of the season. The sire of nine individual winners so far, a haul which sees him lead the Australian first season sire charts by winners and earnings, 2016 Golden Slipper winner Capitalist had his fee more than doubled from the $44,000 it was in 2020.
“On the measures of number of stakes winners, number of stakes horses, on 2YO prize-money won, Capitalist is on track to break all the records and he was obviously a record holder himself,” Newgate Farm director of bloodstock Bruce Slade said yesterday.
Capitalist, and he is now going on and breaking all the records with his first crop 2YO, which is super exciting.
