CAPTIVANT Pedigree
Captivant was SHARP enough to win a Victory Vein over 1000m pre-Christmas, SUPERIOR enough to be a Group 1-winning two-year-old, and CLASSY enough to fight out a Caulfield Guineas with Anamoe.

Captivant has a DEEP GIRTH, BIG HIP, plenty of size about him and beautiful angles. He is a QUALITY individual. Stallions like him are very easy to mate your mares to – he will suit a variety of them physically.
