An $800,000 Magic Millions purchase from Attunga Stud for the James Harron Bloodstock Colt Partnership, Caesar was the highest priced yearling for his sire Capitalist sold in 2024 and he was one of four winners on Friday by the Newgate stallion, who is leading the sires by winners list.
Trained by Peter Snowden, Caesar was gelded after his first three starts which resulted in a debut win at Gosford last July and two second placings.
Returning from a spell last night in a Benchmark 64 event over 1250m, Caesar enjoyed a good ride from James Mcdonald to get the cash as favourite scoring by a length.
Bred by Bob Hannon, Caesar is a half-brother to Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Shaquero and is the seventh winner from eight foals to race from terrific producer Fimatino.
Fimatino and her mother Finito Fling were also bred by Bob Hannon and the family has been a good one producing Cox Plate winning sire Shamus Award and stakes-winner Insurrection, who has won over $900,000 in prizemoney.
Fimatino had a yearling filly by Home Affairs sell for $475,000 at Magic Millions this year and she was covered again last spring by Capitalist, who is leading the sires by winners list on 120 winners.
