Two Sides to Every Story

Tara Madgwick - Monday February 8

Written Tycoon is a sire on fire with 81 winners on the board this season headed by boom colt Capitalist and stakes-winners Shakespearean Lass and Howmuchdoyouloveme and he featured at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on Sunday with a stunning grey colt that had more to offer than just type and pedigree.

Consigned for sale by Murrulla Stud as Lot 291, this dashing grey (images by Lisa Grimm) with the unusual markings on one side has been turning heads at Newmarket since his arrival last week.

A half-brother to three winners from stakes-placed Kenvain mare Sunday Shoes, he is bred to go fast with a pedigree featuring a 3 x 3 double cross of dashing grey shuttle sire Kenmare (Fr) and 4 x 4 cross of Golden Slipper winner and champion sire Vain.

He was snapped up by Lindsay Park Racing for $110,000 and there will be plenty of people following his career as it unfolds!

Inglis Classic continues this morning.
