Timing is Everything

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday February 27
The 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale kicks off this Sunday and if you are a vendor offering one of the 43 yearlings by Written Tycoon at this sale, you're about to get run off your feet.

Victoria's leading sire hit a home run in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond last Saturday with his unbeaten colt Written By scoring a dominant win in the state's best two year-old race and to put the icing on the cake for Victorian breeders he beat Enbihaar, a daughter of Suns Stud's flagship Victorian sire Magnus. Read about the race here.

Written Tycoon is the most represented sire at Inglis Premier this year and Magnus will also add interest with 13 entries.

Written By was offered at this sale last year, but failed to make his $200,000 reserve, so was retained by his breeder Neville Begg and this is what he looked like below.



With 43 entries by Written Tycoon we can't show you them all, but click here to see them and below are some that caught our eye.
