Leading South Australian vendors Mill Park Stud only bring the cream of their crop to the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and the draft for 2022 features the half-brother to a freakishly good Group I winning sprinter.
In 2017, Mill Park brought a Foxwedge filly from Victory Cry to Inglis Easter that caught the eye of South African buyers Craig Roscoe and Brett Crawford, who bid $420,000 to secure the half-sister to stakes-winner Guard of Honour.
Sent back to South Africa, Run Fox Run showed immediate talent and quickly built an impressive record winning eight of 11 starts with multiple stakes wins highlighted by a victory in the Group I Cape Flying Championship at Kenilworth.
Her half-brother by Written Tycoon will be offered by Mill Park as Lot 8, so will be the first yearling by the reigning champion sire to go through the ring and is a top class colt from a family packed with Black Type performers.
“The Written Tycoon half brother to Run Fox Run is very typical of the family. He has a lot of quality and that exceptionally athletic stride that the family continues to produce but above all, a great temperament," said Chris Watson.
"This colt continues to amaze me with his ability to mentally deal with any situation.
"Run Fox Run caught the eye from day one and it has been an absolute joy to watch her perform at the highest level on the world stage. We can only hope that the family can produce another like her in the near future.”
Run Fox Run aside, the Mill Park honour roll of success is constantly evolving with current star performers in 2021 / 2022 that were raised / sold by Mill Park including: Group I SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes winner Instant Celebrity, $3.6 million earning Champion 2YO Filly Away Game, $3.1 million earner Dalasan, $2.2million earner Warning, $1million earning Group winner Peltzer (now retired to stud) and Group and Listed winners Zoushine, Seradess, Cerberus, Crown Towers, Ecumenical and Senor Toba.
