One to Watch – Wyong

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday September 21

Backed as if unbeatable, this Capitalist filly was in a class of her own at Wyong on Tuesday.

Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, three year-old filly Shihonka showed serious talent in her  first preparation when finishing second on debut to Billiondollarbaby in a metro maiden and then third to Xtremetime in the Listed Woodlands Stakes.

Spelled immediately after that Black Type performance, Shihonka reappeared in the 1100m fillies and mares maiden and thrashed her rivals to win by more than six lengths in an utterly dominant display.
 

 


A $220,

000 Magic Millions purchase for her trainers from the Yarraman Park draft, Shihonka was a successful pinhook having been bought by Mitchell Bloodstock for $120,000 from the Newgate Consignment at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale.

 

Shihonka was a $220,000 MM purchase from the Yarraman Park draft.

Bred by SF Bloodstock, Shihonka is the first living foal from Group III placed Real Saga mare Stroak, who was on-sold by Newgate at the 2019 Magic Million Broodmare Sale to Aston Bloodstock for $100,000.

Shihonka looks a bright prospect for Newgate Farm's Capitalist going forward with Black Type sprinting races for fillies sure to be in her sights.
