Capades dam was the racing mare, Medal of Valor, a daughter of U.S.
Trained from a base in New York by Richard O'Connell, at age two Capades won the Selima Stakes at Maryland's Laurel Park Racecourse.
The only filly in a field of eight three-year-olds, Capades won the 1989 Broad Brush Stakes by five and a half lengths.
She was retired to broodmare duty having earned in excess of a million dollars.
Bred to stallions such as Dixieland Band, Gulch, and Lyphard, among others, Capades' offspring who raced met with limited success.
