Pinhook Winners at the Magic Millions

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 17

With record trade at Magic Millions this year there was every opportunity to make hay while the sun shines with pinhook purchases returning some outstanding results.

UK Racing Post published a story last week highlighting the Australian bloodstock investment of Zara Phillips husband Mike Tindall that was about to bear fruit at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale with one of the horses mentioned delivering the best pinhook result of the sale.

Written Tycoon colt from Pearl Goddess

Mike Tindall is part of the Redwall syndicate formed by Qatar Racing's racing manager David Redvers and his assistant Hannah Wall, who pinhooked seven weanlings from the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale in late May 2016.

One of those horses was a Written Tycoon colt from Pearl Goddess that was re-offered last Thursday by Widden Stud.

The colt was bought for $140,000 from the Noralla Stud draft and was sold for $650,000 to James Harron Bloodstock.

Harron knows a thing or two about Written Tycoon, having bought his Golden Slipper winning son Capitalist from this sale in 2015 for $165,000.
