Group One winning Champion 2YO Velocious (Written Tycoon) is about to be offered for auction in the Inglis Digital July (Late) Online Sale and the promo videos are out along with inspection details.
Velocious was named NZ Champion 2YO in 2023/24 off the back of a spectacular juvenile campaign which ended with victory in the G1 Sistema Stakes.
She won four of her six starts at two – three times at Stakes level – as well as finishing a close-up 3rd behind three-time Group winner Bellatrix Star and G1 winner Move To Strike.
Her victory in the $1m Karaka 2YO Million was dominant, scoring by 2.3 lengths over subsequent Stakes winners Damask Rose, Bellatrix Star, Savaglee, Poetic Champion, Beau Dazzler, So Naïve etc.
Past winners of that race include the likes of Melody Belle, Avantage, Probabeel, Ruud Awakening etc.
Velocious’ crowning glory in the Sistema Stakes - where she became one of just six fillies to win the time-honoured feature in the past 20 years - saw her defeat subsequent G1 winners Captured By Love and Savaglee, plus Stakes winners Archaic Smile, Poetic Champion etc.
The Stephen Marsh-trained Velocious is one of only three G1-winning 2YO fillies by Written Tycoon. The other two are G1 Golden Slipper winner Lady of Camelot and La Luna Rossa, dam of this season’s G1 placed 2YO and Inglis Easter Yearling Sale graduate Hidden Achievement.
