Written By 2YO Bolts in on Debut

Tara Madgwick - Saturday July 6

Written By featured at Belmont in Perth on Saturday with brilliant juvenile debut winner Wind and The Lion demolishing his opposition with a resounding victory.

Sent out a short priced favourite, the Sean and Jake Casey trained gelding had won two recent barrier trials with punters faith justified when he dashed clear to win the 1000m scamper by three lengths.

 

A $62,500 Magic Millions Book 2 purchase from Riverdene Stud for Shaun Nolen, he was re-offered at the Magic Millions 2YO’s in Training Sale where he made $200,000 for JCS Thoroughbreds when bought by Hancock Quality Bloodstock.

Wind and the Lion made $200,000 at the MM 2YO's in Training Sale.

Wind and the Lion is the first and only foal for Mandalong Sera, a winning half-sister by Sebring to the dam of Group I winner Attrition and stakes-winner Royal Rumble.

Wind and the Lion is the 38th winner for the season for Written By putting him third on the second crop sires list by winners.

Written By stands at Widden this spring at a fee of $22,000.
