One To Watch - Kyneton

Mark Smith - Thursday December 3

The Matthew Cumani-trained Tycoon Bec made a belated start to her career worth the wait when she caned a field of maiden fillies and mares by upwards of four and a half lengths over 1450m at Kyneton on Thursday.

There was not a great deal of support for the four-year-old daughter of Written Tycoon in the betting ring. However, she gave 3kg claiming apprentice Tatum Bull an armchair ride, leading at every call to defeat Dandino filly Shezadandi with a further half-length back to the All Too Hard filly Machinate in third.

A $140,000 purchase by P Diamond / Boomer Bloodstock (FBAA) / Cumani Racing out of the Glenlogan Park draft at the 2018 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, Tycoon Bec is part-owned by former AFL great Chris Judd and is named after his wife, Rebecca.

"I'm not going to make the mistake of jumping up too quickly, because she is competitive at this distance (1450m), so I think we might have a look again at this distance or gently ease her up to a mile," trainer Matt Cumani told Racing.com.

Tycoon Bec is the first winner from three to race out of the well-related Singspiel mare Morganza (GB) who was a winner at Maisons-Laffitte in a six-start career in France for John Hammond.

She is a half-sister to three stakes winners headed by the Group II Curragh Blandford Stakes winner Monturani (Indian Ridge), the dual Listed winner Manavanna (Machiavellian) and Listed winner Mill Springs (Shirocco).

Morganza (GB) has a 2yo colt by Capitalist who failed to make his $70,000 reserved at this year's Magic Millions March Yearling Sale and foaled a Brave Smash (JPN) filly on September 4.
