Now aged 23 and in the very twilight of his stud career, Written Tycoon is a stallion Widden have taken a considerable investment in standing his Group I winning son Written By in NSW and his Group II winning son Dirty Work in Victoria.

Making it a trio of Written Tycoon sons is dual Group I winner Southport Tycoon, who won the VRC Australian Guineas (1600m) at three and the MVRC Manikato Stakes (1200m) at four.
