Imposing colt Angel Capital completed back-to-back Black Type victories when fought off all challengers in the G3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude over 1,400m on Saturday, 21 September.
Two weeks after winning the Listed McKenzie Stakes 1,200m at Moonee Valley, the youngster by former Irish-bred star Harry Angel out of Teofilo mare Bahamas proved too strong for Public Attention and Wanaruah in a driving finish.
Trained by Clinton McDonald at Cranbourne and well ridden by Ben Melham, Angel Capital scored his third win from only five starts and lifted his prize-money swag to $343,650.
A half-brother to Stakes winners Senor Toba and Berkeley Square, Angel Capital was bred by David Peacock and offered by Mill Park Stud, South Australia at the 2023 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
Upper Bloodstock paid $400,000 for the colt, who also has a two-year-old half-brother by Blue Point, a yearling half-sister by Pinatubo and his dam visited Blue Point last December.
Angel Capital’s double also gave Harry Angel’s progeny their sixth Stakes-race victory of the past 10 weeks, following wins by Arkansaw Kid (Florabella) twice, Fair Angelica (Fair’s Fair) and Marine Wave (Ambiguous).
In just a few seasons, Harry Angel has sired 155 winners of 309 races worldwide – including 15 Stakes-race winners of 23 Black Type events.
The young Darley stallion stands at Kelvinside farm in the NSW Hunter Valley for a service fee of $38,500, GST inclusive.
"Angel Capital wins, a smart horse!"
