First Win for Ceolwulf Half-Sister

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Apr 2

She’s a half-sister to four time Group I winner Ceolwulf and the colt that topped Karaka Book 1 this year, so Lupa Capitalina is a filly that holds plenty of interest and she opened her account at Gosford on Thursday.

Trained by Joe Pride, who also puts the polish on her famous older brother, Lupa Capitalina was favourite for the 1600m maiden and surged home to win by half a length.

It was her fifth start and second run back from a spell, so the three year-old daughter of Almanzor (Fr) is still on the up and will take confidence from today.

Luna Capitalina was a $260,000 Inglis Premier Yearling purchase.

A $260,000 Inglis Premier purchase from Cambridge Stud for John Foote Bloodstock Lupa Capitalina runs for So Bloodstock and is the second winner from well related import Las Brisas (GB), an unraced Shamardal mare from a family packed with elite European Black Type.

The current yearling from Las Brisas is a colt by Sword of State that was sold by Cambridge Stud for $1.1million at Karaka Book 1 to Mr Sanxiong Gao / Ciaron Maher Bloodstock Pty Ltd and topped the sale.
