Dynamic Stakes-Winner for Written Tycoon

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 6
A big team of Dynamic Syndications owners have plenty to celebrate on Melbourne Cup Day after their lightly raced Written Tycoon mare Teleplay scored a late charging win in the Listed VRC MSS Security Sprint over 1200 metres.



With two wins at Ballarat and Kilmore at her only five previous starts, the Mick Price trained Teleplay (image Grant Courtney) was giving away class and experience to her more seasoned rivals, but unwound a powerful finish for her rider Michael Dee to score a head win over last start stakes-winner Moonlover.

"I was quietly confident coming here today, especially with the wet conditions," said Dee, who had ridden Teleplay in three of her previous runs.

An $85,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Baystone Farm draft for Dynamic Syndications/ Dean Watt Bloodstock, Teleplay has won three of six starts earning nearly $200,000 in prizemoney.

Teleplay as a yearling"Credit to Dean Watt, who rang me about getting her into some of these little Black Type races and it's paid off," said Mick Price.

"She's a game little mare and is now a valuable mare."

A half-sister to stakes-placed Astro Flame, she is the best of three winners from Special Episode, a winning three-quarter sister to Group I winner First Seal from dual Oaks winner Episode.

Special Episode was bought by Rosemont Stud at the 2017 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for just $60,000 and has a yearling filly by So You Think, although no foal this spring after missing to Lonhro.

Teleplay is the 25th stakes-winner for Woodside Park Stud's Written Tycoon, who is Victoria's most expensive stallion at a fee of $110,000.
