Lot 3 Filly Written Tycoon x Unreal Deal, by Redoute’s Choice

The Written Tycoon x Redoute’s Choice is a nick on an upswing and is a modern extension of the old Redoute’s Choice x Last Tycoon nick which was and is super successful.



Written Tycoon x Redoute’s Choice in a non-grid-based report comes in at 71% winners to runners and 10.5% stakes-winners to runners with Group I winner La Luna Rossa the best. Interestingly the direct cross of Written Tycoon over mares by Redoute’s Choice has delivered 16 winners from 16 runners with Group III winner Teleplay the best.

Add to that the fact this filly comes from an outstanding Black Type family producing G1 winners Grand Armee, Dealer Principal and Yourdeel and you can see why she’s going to appeal to a lot of people.

Lot 175 Filly No Nay Never (USA) x Chelsea Hotel (USA), by Dylan Thomas

With his oldest Northern Hemisphere bred progeny about to turn four, No Nay Never has established himself as a leading young sire with 20 stakes-winners and an 11.4% stakes-winner to runner strike rate.



He is particularly successful with mares carrying Danehill blood as is this yearling, with six of his stakes-winners bred this way including his G1 winner Ten Sovereigns, the nick working at 15.3% stakes-winners to runners.

This filly is a half-sister to a winner and comes from a big US Black Type family.
