A colt by Capitalist (Written Tycoon) was the star on Day 2 as the 2021 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale finished on a high note. Offered by Cornerstone Stud, the day's top seller became the fourth lot of the sale to pass the previous record price when he sold for $425,000. Bidding online from his Singapore base, Mr Chua Song Ru of Aramco Racing was the successful buyer of the Capitalist colt, who is the eighth foal of the group performed Flying Spur mare Okaylah. Spendthrift Farm was underbidder. A Melbourne winning half-sister to Kick 'n' Chase, Okaylah earned black type as a juvenile and 3YO before retiring to stud where she has already produced five winners. Sam Hayes of Cornerstone Stud was delighted with the final price of the handsome chestnut colt. "I am a bit overwhelmed actually," a delighted Hayes said. "There was quite a big build-up. I was a bit nervous, so it was great that he sold like that. That probably exceeded our expectations but the market is strong. I think the best thing about it is, it gets you thinking about what you can bring back next year when they make that sort of money.”
