On Saturday, his son MUSIC MAGNATE won the Gr1 Doomben 10,000 (1350m) in Brisbane, giving trainer Bjorn Baker his first Gr1 winner as a trainer.
Then on Sunday at the Magic Millions breeding stock sale, it was Day 1 of the weanlings being offered and WRITTEN TYCOON had 6 of his babies sell through the ring for and average of $125,000.
The sale produced 28 weanlings on Day 1 to sell for $100,000 or more and Written Tycoon had 5 of his weanlings in this group.
However these stats when reviewed, reveal greater information about the demand the professional market has on his stock.
Of the 6 sold, one was not of merchantable quality. The filly was so poor in conformation, size, commerciality and forward opportunity, she sold for $10,000.
That left the remaining 5 lots that were offered. They grossed $740,000 for an average of $148,000 and a median of $140,000.
James Harron Bloodstock purchased the 2 most expensive at $230,000 and $170,000 whilst the other 3 sold for $140,000, $100,000 and $100,000.
Not a bad result for their breeders who produced these babies off a $19,800 service fee !
The demand for anything WRITTEN TYCOON comes off the back of the break-out season he is having that has seen the stallion produce 3 individual Gr1 Winners - CAPITALIST (2yo), LUNA ROSSA (2yo) and MUSIC MAGNATE (4yo).
Now the stallion is up to 17 Stakes Winners in a career that is flying along.
This season he has 8 stakes winners to his resume
8 Current Season Stakes Winners / 11 Stakes Wins
CAPITALIST = Longines Golden Slipper Gr1; Breeders' Plate LR; Magic Millions Classic RL
MUSIC MAGNATE = Doomben 10,000 Gr1; Hall Mark Stakes Gr3
LUNA ROSSA = Manawatu Sires' Produce Gr1
WINNING RUPERT = Champagne Classic Gr2
HOWMUCHDOYOULOVEME = Takeover Target Stk LR
SHAKESPEAREAN LASS = W.J. Adams Stakes LR
SUPER CASH = Goodwood Racecourse Trophy LR
HOT DIPPED = Gold Sovereign LR
Written Tycoon is also performing well on the other two premiership defining markers - Winners and Earnings. Currently he sits 3rd position in both categories:
He's had 120 Winners (Not A Single Doubt 136; Lonhro 127)
He's Earned $9,265,882 (Street Cry $12,403,288; $10,370,790)
In such demand by professional breeders, Written Tycoon had a service fee increase to $49,500 for the upcoming 2016 serving season and instantly the Book Full sign went up. This certainly indicated that breeders considered him "great value" at this price level and another big increase is sure to follow in 2017.
Written Tycoon was on the cusp of a great season heading into the Autumn and professional buyers were looking at his stock believing he could be sent for a huge run. However even the most optimistic of his supporters couldn't have dreamed about the run he was about to embark upon.
The Team at Dynamic were amongst those believers and we purchased a magnificent filly by the sire at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sales.
Our fabulous filly is from a 1200m winning REDOUTE'S CHOICE mare named SPECIAL EPISODE.
SPECIAL EPISODE is a 1/2 sister to Gr1 winner FIRST SEAL & Gr2 winner BOOK OF KELLS.
Our filly's 2nd Dam is dual Gr1 EPISODE.
Our filly is bred in the purple and will offer outstanding residual value for the broodmare market at the end of her racing career.
In the care of wonderful Caulfield based trained MICK PRICE, this is one of those rare opportunities that comes along that needs to be considered by the astute racing enthusiast.
Clean on on vet certificate and with a top trainer this filly is buy the hottest sire in the country with a magnificent commercial pedigree behind her.
