Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 7

Currently leading the Australian General Sires List by earnings and stakes-winners, Written Tycoon is riding the crest of a winning wave this season and Valiant Stud are delighted to present an outstanding colt by the boom sire at Inglis Ready2Race on October 20.

Valiant Stud will offer six two year-olds, but Lot 79 is an obvious standout, stamped clearly by his sire and blessed with pedigree, plus talent as you can see in his breeze up which stopped the clock at 10.42 seconds.

He is the first foal of a winning three-quarter sister-in-blood to stakes-winner Villami from a power packed Black Type family as his dam Play for Time is a daughter of blue hen Procrastinate.

The family will have a chance for further enhancement this weekend when three year-old filly Personal lines up in the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas.

The fastest of the Valiant Stud draft was Lot 193, a colt by first season sire Odyssey Moon from stakes-placed Bright Heart that breezed in 10.23 seconds.
