Written Tycoon - New Winner

New Zealand-based syndicator Go Racing are looking forward to a bumper day of racing on Saturday, where they will be represented in feature races on both sides of the Tasman.

Here is the full list of 44 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Talented filly Dream Of The Moon got her three-year-old season back on track at Riccarton Park on Wednesday, saluting fresh-up in the Book A Suite For Autumn Racing 65 (1200m).

The Gary Portelli-trained debutant Iron Hawk dealt punters a blow in the Schweppes Maiden Plate (1100m) at Warwick Farm but ended the season on a high for Written Tycoon, the soon-to-be-crowned Champion 2yo Sire in Australia and New Zealand.

The NZB Filly of the Year title has been locked up by Leica Lucy (NZ) (Derryn), but the two remaining races in the series both carry plenty of prestige in their own right – starting with the $250,000 Group Three Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Sunline Vase (2100m) at Ellerslie on Saturday.

Slot holder Daniel Nakhle has a key chance for the locals in Saturday’s $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m), but his focus will also lie much earlier on the card on Champions Day, with his star sprinter Crocetti contesting the Gr.3 Haunui Farm King’s Plate (1200m).

Four days after the Super Seth / O’Reilly nick produced a Group One winner in Australian Guineas winner Feroce, it produced an impressive debut 2YO winner at Warwick Farm with the Waller/McDonald duo in Kilman.

The Group 1 Crown Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington takes centre stage on Saturday, while five stakes races for the 3-year-olds at Flemington and Rosehill will hopefully make the pecking order for the Classic generation a little more transparent.

The Victorian breeding industry lost an unsung hero and a link with history with the recent passing of Bill Birch, stud manager for 27 years at the famed Mornmoot Stud at Whittlesea.

We’ve taken a look back through the most expensive mares sold at auction in Australia last year to see just what stallions they ended up going to and 12 of them were bought by Yulong and all of them went to Yulong sires bar one.
