Spirit of Caplan 18/01/09

THAT'S THE SPIRIT
Nice breakthrough win for Spirit of Caplan at Port Macquarie on Sunday (18 January), notching up win No. 45 for Bel Esprit this season.
Having experienced floating problems en route to Cessnock on 16 December (running fourth when first up from a six month spell), Spirit of Caplan was bred by the Fleming family and sold to Rick Worthington at the 2006 Gold Coast Magic Millions.
Spirit of Caplan hails from the Mr Prospector mare, Golden, a half sister to Canadian Group Two winner Seattle Sangue from the 3-time Group One winning Lyphard mare Sangue.
Boasting a nice mix of European, North American and Japanese black type, Spirit of Caplan is from the immediate family of Sunday Silence stallion Bubble Gum Fellow.
