Three significant winners on Saturday by this champion sire were all bred from daughters of Redoute’s Choice.
Written Tycoon is a sire on fire with 31 winners in the past 30 days and three of those winners are Teleplay, who won the Group III MRC Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1300m) at Sandown as well as two year-old winners Tilia Rose (winner of the $125,000 Max Lees Classic) and Dusty Tycoon, a debut two year-old winner at Sunshine Coast - all three bred from daughters of Redoute’s Choice. Read about them here.
This exact nick has produced a staggering 15 winners from 16 runners with Teleplay the best example followed by stakes-placed Masthead.
Looking at this nick in a broader way brings in Group I winner La Luna Rossa, Group III winner Written Dash and stakes-winner Stoker, which equates to 10.8% stakes-winners to runners.
Written Tycoon is a grand-son of Last Tycoon (IRE), a stallion that has had a long and well documented affinity with Redoute’s Choice, so we should not be at all surprised about the growing success of this nick.
Redoute’s Choice and Last Tycoon combine in the pedigrees of 41 stakes-winners, seven of them being Group I winners.
Given that the 2020 sales will see the arrival of plentiful yearlings by two high profile Written Tycoon sons in Capitalist and Winning Rupert, learning a bit more about what works for Written Tycoon is probably a wise thing for yearling buyers.
Winning Rupert is completely free of Danehill blood so looms as an outcross sire like his father that may well take real advantage of the Danehill line mares.
Capitalist does carry Danehill, his dam Kitalpha being from Danehill’s very fast stakes-winning daughter Compulsion (a sister to Golden Slipper winner Merlene), so as a result many of his yearlings will carry a double cross of Danehill.
Current leading young sire Zoustar (from a daughter of Redoute’s Choice) faced a similar scenario and has come up trumps, siring 13 stakes-winners, eight of them with a double cross of Danehill.
Magic Millions 2020 has 35 yearlings by Written Tycoon, 45 by Capitalist and 18 by Winning Rupert, also five by Rich Enuff.
Inglis Classic has 15 by Written Tycoon, 28 by Capitalist and 22 by Winning Rupert, also two by Rich Enuff.
