The Lindsay Park team have had plenty of 2YO winners this season including speedy Capitalist gelding Rich on Bubbles, who made it three wins in a row when landing the $175,000 Listed MRC Valley Pearl (1200m) at Caulfield on Saturday.
A last start winner of the Magic Millions Adelaide 2YO Classic at Murray Bridge, Rich on Bubbles took another step forward when racing clear for an easy two length win under Daniel Stackhouse.
“It was a great result for the team. We just feel that interstate trip really brought him on mentally and he handled it well,” said Will Hayes.
“He's a tough horse, stands up to the workload, and it helped his barrier manners. I feel it was a slight step in the right direction, although he's still a bit of a flight risk.
“He’s a nice horse with plenty of upside.
“He has been up a long time. Three in a row is a good effort. We'll be guided by how he pulls up. There's lovely options in Adelaide and Sydney and also in Victoria, so it's a great position to be in, and I can't wait for the Monday discussion.”
Lindsay Park Racing bought Rich on Bubbles for $200,000 from the Kingstar Farm draft at the Gold Coast Magic Millions and he has three wins from four starts with prizemoney topping $220,000.
He is a half-brother to stakes-placed Stoli Boli and is the second winner from stakes-winning Spirit of Boom mare Champagne Boom, who has a yearling colt by In The Congo and produced a colt by Ozzmosis last spring before going to Extreme Choice.
Rich on Bubbles is the 30th stakes-winner for Capitalist, who won the Golden Slipper in 2016.
