Lot 145 bay filly Written Tycoon – Moldova (Snitzel) (draft: Milburn Creek)
This filly, together with Lot 59 our Zousain/Liesele filly, comprises a two filly syndicate.
Written Tycoon (Iglesia) topped the Australian General Sires’ List in 2021, after rising from an initial service fee of A$8,250 to now command A$165,000.
Leading First Season Sire and Champion Two-Year-Old Sire Written Tycoon is currently second leading sire for both wins and winners in Australia, and recently notched his 100thstakes’ winner as a sire, a tally that includes 14 Group One winners.
Written Tycoon is also a sire of sires, including Golden Slipper (Gr. 1, 1200m) winner Capitalist, Group One winners Written By and Ole Kirk, and Rich Enuff, Winning Rupert.
Dam-sire Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice), a two-time Champion Sire of Two-Year-Olds in Australia, equalled then surpassed Danehill with record number of individual two-year-old winners in a season – a mark that now stands at 35. He has also headed the General Sires’ List twice and Australian Champion Sire in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
As a broodmare sire, Snitzel, a son of Champion Broodmare Sire Redoute’s Choice (Danehill), is increasingly making his presence felt and last season his daughters left 10 stakes’ winners.
The filly is the first foal of Moldova, who won twice at 1100 metres, while the dam-line has tremendous success mated with Savabeel (Zabeel), including multiple stakes’ winner Savvy Nature, stakes’ winner Addictive Nature, and 1000 Guineas (Gr. 1, 1600m) winner Hasahalo.
“She is a lovely natured filly, good mover, physically strong, with a superb pedigree to match,” said David Ellis.
“With Snitzel and General Nediym the first and second dam sires, there is plenty of speed, and she looks very much a racehorse.”
