London impressive at Hawkesbury

Capitalist colt London broke his maiden in impressive style at Hawkesbury on Saturday winning the 1000m 3yo maiden by over 2 lengths. He jumped well and settled in second before rider Lee Magorrian took him to the lead in the home straight and he showed a good turn of foot to kick clear of his rivals.

London was secured at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale for the JHB Colt Partnership from the Davali Thoroughbreds draft, and is Capitalist’s sixteenth winner so far this season.

Congratulations to owners Rob Love, Belinda Bateman, Fergus Doyle, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Danny & Pauline Saab, John & Frances Ingham, Gary Diamond and Steve and Louise Gillard and thanks to trainer Chris Waller.
