Winner 61 For Written Tycoon's Golden Crop in 5.8 Length Romp

Craig Tompson - Saturday February 15

Given the field gapping performance one can only wonder how it took three starts but Dreams added winner number 61 to the golden crop of Champion stallion Written Tycoon at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

Dreams as a yearling

Tara Madgwick delved into the “golden crop” of Written Tycoon following Written Scandal’s win at Wyong this week, the 60th resulting from his 2020 season standing at Arrowfield Stud.

Read the story here.

Dreams became winner number 61 when putting 5.8 lengths on the opposition at Moonee Valley on Friday night, beating Kaddari (Heroic Valour) and Thank God I Gothim (Magnus).

The Michael Kent trained filly was a $200,000 buy for Bevan Smith Bloodstock and Andrew Williams Bloodstock at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale in 2022 before being passed in on a reserve of $250,000 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale the following year.

She was put aside after a debut fourth at Moe over 1100m in October and resumed with a close third at Pakenham after a wide run on pace on January 30.

Finding her way easily to the front under Ethan Brown at this run however saw her way too good for her maiden grade colleagues and she ultimately outclassed them in the style of a horse with more to offer.
