Ka Bling was a $200,000 Inglis Easter Round 2 Sale purchase from Macquarie Stud for Snowden Racing and is the fourth winner from five foals to race from Group III winning Redoute’s Choice mare Zingaling.

There is plenty of Black Type in this female family that also features Group I winner Inspirational Girl and Group II winner Demonetization.

Ka Bling was bred and sold by Macquarie Stud.

Zingaling has been a regular visitor to Newgate Farm’s Capitalist and also has a two year-old filly by the son of Written Tycoon and is back in foal to him again after having a season off in 2019.

Ka Bling is the ninth winner of the new season for Capitalist, whose fee has shot up to $99,000.
