Trainer Jenny Graham sent 2-year-old gelding Vantorix (Captivant) to Taree to debut against the older horses in a maiden over 1005 metres. The juvenile was more than up to the task, winning by 2.4 lengths for jockey Ashley Morgan to become the first winner for first season sire Captivant.
Captivant, a son of Capitalist who won the G1 Champagne Stakes as an autumn juvenile, has just the two runners to date. Vantorix was purchased by Graham for $30,000 from Mullaglass Stud’s draft at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale. He is a half-brother to Group 3-winning 3-year-old Raging Force (Cosmic Force).
