Lot 816

Written Tycoon/Stop Making Sense colt ‘18 Sold by Gilgai Farm for $350,000

“This is a standout colt. He is a big, strong individual, is nice and fluid in his action and glides over the ground.” - AB

By the best sire in Victoria, this colt has serious Golden Slipper potential. Written Tycoon has proven to be a top sire of sprinters with Group 1 Golden Slipper winner Captitalist, Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner Written By and Group 1 Doomben Ten Thousand Stakes winner Music Magnate all by the sire.

This colt is the first foal from Group 3 performer Stop Making Sense who is a direct descendant from outstanding racehorse and producer Starcent. The family is littered with black type with many over sprint distances, giving us plenty to like about this colt and his future on the racetrack.
