Captivant (AUS) x Tavisplash (NZ)

Unnamed Yearling Filly

Captivant (AUS) / Tavisplash (NZ)
Foaled 24th September 2024

A lovely opportunity to secure a well-bred, great-bodied yearling filly by Captivant.

Out of the winning mare Tavisplash (NZ), hailing from the elite black-type family of champions Twiglet, Easy Rocking, and Hong Kong Horse of the Year Fairy King Prawn.

Sire: By Captivant, Timeform-rated 121, a Group 1 Champagne Stakes winner, placegetter in the Caulfield Guineas behind Anamoe, and the best son of Champion 2YO Capitalist.

​This athletic filly is the very first foal out of the mare, presenting a clean slate and immense residual breeding value for the future.

​Impressive Build: Stands at an imposing 15.3HH with great size, incredible natural strength, and correct conformation.

​Possesses a huge stride length combined with a lovely, free-flowing action that screams middle-distance/classic potential.
​
Boasts a wonderfully relaxed temperament.
