Woodside Park's Champion Victorian stallion Written Tycoon topped the sire's list (3 or more sold), with his 10 lots selling at an average price of $93,150.

Glenelg Park's Danny Swain sold a colt ($175,000 and filly ($155,000) by Written Tycoon and was naturally thrilled with those results.

"Written Tycoon is the best stallion in Victoria and to be Victorian breeders selling at a Victorian sale and having results like this is very rewarding," Swain said.

"The two horses were in high demand in their inspections and that certainly carried through to the sale ring.
Sheamus Mills bought the lot 244 Written Tycoon colt from Glenelg Park on behalf of Palya Bloodstock and Saconi Thoroughbreds.

"(Written Tycoon) is starting to make a name as a potential sire of sires and when you start making your name in that field your expectations as a yearling purchaser go up and you need to start paying more for them," he said

Meanwhile Woodside Park Stud was awarded leading vendor for the select sale selling all 18 of its offerings for an aggregate of $948,500.

Woodside's General Manager Commercial James Price said the sales results for the farm were very pleasing and equally satisfying was the performance of the stud's headline sire Written Tycoon.

"It's great to be the leading commercial stud in Victoria," Price Said.

"It's equally satisfying to see the progeny of Written Tycoon in high demand not only Australia wide but also internationally."
Inglis' Victorian Bloodstock Manager Simon Viivan said he was pleased with the outcome of the weanlingsession, but an increased catalogue thisyear resulted in a lower average.

"There was good trade right through and I was really pleased. As we've endured in a couple of sales this year, clearance rates were tricky initially butwith natural adjustment of buyers and sellers we ended up with a clearancerate in excess of 80 per cent," Vivian said.

"(The average) was drop off, but we also knew that we put a lot of horsesinto the sale who were probably going to struggle to make a select yearlingsale next year.

"Vendors were smart enough to think maybe they are better offtrading them now rather than trying to get through to a sale next year. It was a much broader sale than we have had previously."
