Music Magnate Retired

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 22
Champion Victorian sire Written Tycoon has been riding high this season with two new Group I winners in Despatch and Booker, but this week will bid farewell to one of his stalwart Group I stars in Music Magnate with his trainer Bjorn Baker announcing the seven year-old gelding has been retired.

Music Magnate- image Steve Hart"He's been a really good horse that I will miss," Baker told Racenet. "He's been a part of the stable for so long.

"He was a real quirky bugger. A horse that every one has a soft spot for around the stable.

"He did a really good job for us. I'd love to find another one."

Music Magnate is likely to spend his retirement on a Victoria property of one of his owners.

Music Magnate won nine of 31 starts earning over $1.2 million with highlight wins in the Group I BRC Doomben 10,000 and Group II ATC Expressway Stakes and BRC Victory Stakes.
