Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 27

Widden Stud couldn’t be happier with the timing of their promising young sire Written By in posting his first stakes-winner on Christmas Eve and they have three youngsters in their Magic Millions draft by this exciting sire son of Written Tycoon.

The Novelist made it two wins from two starts for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable when securing his start in the $2million Magic Millions Classic on January 14 with a tenacious front running win in the Group III BRC BJ McLachlan Stakes (1200m) at Doomben and you can read about him here.
