Extensible had her final start in the Listed Winter Challenge Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday where she finished ninth behind Shiraz.

The daughter of Exceed And Excel finished her career with four wins and a stakes placing in the Group III Summoned Stakes behind subsequent Group I winner Silent Sedition, amassing close to a quarter of a million dollars in stakes.

"She was a really good mare and was always competitive in Stakes grade," Peter Snowden said. "She may be going to Written Tycoon but I'm not sure at this stage."

Written Tycoon currently stands at Woodside Park Stud and has sired four individual Group I winners including Snowden's Golden Slipper winner Capitalist.

Meanwhile, Snowden indicated Group I winners Redzel and Russian Revolution will return to the track next Tuesday for a barrier trial at Randwick.

It will be the first time we have seen the pair since Redzel took out the Group I Doomben 10,000 (1200m), with Russian Revolution finishing fourth.

A date is yet to be set for their race returns.
