Cup Day Stakes Double for Written Tycoon

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 3

Relocated to Arrowfield Stud this year, Written Tycoon has been in a rich vein of form this season and made it a stakes double at Flemington on Cup Day with progressive mare Rich Hips claiming her first Black Type win in the Group III VRC Hong Kong Jockey Club stakes (1400m).

The victory for Rich Hips followed on from the earlier win in the day of promising two year-old colt Finance Tycoon, who took out the Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate, read about him here.

Trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, Rich Hips was easy in the market after finishing last at her previous start in the Group II MRC Tristarc Stakes, but she turned that form around to charge home under Mick Dee to win running away by half a length over Group I winner Lyre.


A $130,

000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Woodside Park draft for First Light Racing / Busuttin Racing / P Willetts, Rich Hips has the overall record of five wins and three palcigns from 14 starts with prizemoney topping $300,000.

Bred by Woodside Park, Rich Hips is the best of three winners from She’s Curvaceous, a full sister to Group II winner Velasco, the dam of Group III winner Debellatio and stakes-winner Devoirs.

She’s Curvaceous has a yearling colt by Tosen Stardom (Jpn) and a filly foal by Written Tycoon’s young sire son Rich Enuff.

Rich Hips is the 39th stakes-winner for Written Tycoon and is his eighth in Australia this season.
