FEE: Private Book

Nine-time Victorian champion sire & proven sire of sires

Written Tycoon will stand for a private fee again this breeding season as the approaching 24-year-old enters the twilight of a brilliant stallion career that will likely see the best yet to come.

“Written Tycoon is a Champion in every way, and we are taking special care of him as he ages,” said Sam Fairgray.

“He has been a fantastic stallion and if we can keep breeding some nice foals by him then we’ll be thrilled.”

The nine-time Victorian Champion Sire has enjoyed another outstanding season across both Australia and New Zealand, producing Well Written, winner of the Gr.1 New Zealand Thousand Guineas and $4million Kiwi, plus Group winners Tycoon Star, Grand Prairie and Gangsta Granny.

Australia’s leading first-season sire in 2010/11, and leading sire of two-year-olds in 2015/16 and again in 2023/2024, many sons of the former Australian Champion Sire are now forging their own careers at stud, including leading first-season sires Capitalist and Ole Kirk, alongside Rich Enuff, Winning Rupert, Written By and Yulong’s own First Settler.

Written Tycoon is the first sire since Redoute’s Choice and Danehill in the last 25 years to sire two colts to win the two richest Gr.1 two-year-old features in Australia. Capitalist took out the 2016 Golden Slipper Stakes, while Written By claimed victory in the 2018 Blue Diamond Stakes. 

He is also the first stallion in 44 years to sire the winner of both the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (Ole Kirk) and the Gr.1 Thousand Guineas (Odeum).

His 82 individual Stakes winners include two Golden Slipper victors in Capitalist and Lady Of Camelot, Blue Diamond winner Written By, and a further 15 Gr.1 winners including Well Written, Captured By Love, Private Life, Velocious, Southport Tycoon, Coolangatta, Ole Kirk, Pippie, Tycoon Tara, Music Magnate (NZ), Despatch, Tyzone, Booker, Odeum and La Luna Rossa (NZ).

Written Tycoon’s yearlings also continue to be hot commodities in the sale ring, selling for up to $1.8million in 2025 and $1.3million in 2026.
