Closer Look at Champion Sires

Tara Madgwick - Monday August 2

We have two champion sires in Australia for 2020/2021 in Written Tycoon, who takes the title by earnings, and I Am Invincible, who set a new record for individual Australian winners, and both came from the wrong side of the tracks so to speak, so a look at how they got to where they are statistically is well worth reading.

Written Tycoon stands at Yulong Stud in Victoria this spring at a fee of $165,000.
