Written Tycoon, the Group Two-winning son of Iglesia (Last Tycoon) and the sire of 19 stakes winners including last season’s Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Capitalist, will stand for a fee of $88,000 (inc GST) this year, up from $49,500 (inc GST) last year.

Also the sire of last year’s Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) heroine Luna Rossa and Doomben 10,000 (Gr 1, 1350m) winner Music Magnate, Written Tycoon is a good outcross option to almost all mares’ bloodlines, being a son of Last Tycoon’s (Try My Best) Iglesia and out of a Kenmare (Kalamoun) mare.

His yearlings averaged more than $100,000 in 2016 off a service fee of $13,750 (inc GST) and, this year, eight yearlings by Written Tycoon sold at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for an aggregate of $2,460,000 at an average of $307,500, over 22 times service fee while his yearlings sold for up to $500,000 at last month’s Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

This year will also mark the start of a new chapter for Written Tycoon, as his highest rated son Rich Enuff set to stand alongside his father at Woodside Park at a fee of $13,750 (inc GST). Trained by Ken Keys, Rich Enuff won the Danehill Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) down the Flemington straight in a record time of 1:08.13 before running a close second later that preparation in the 2014 Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m). One of six named foals out of the winning mare Hotnuff (Spartacus), Rich Enuff is a half-brother to the stakes-placed Lightenuff (Lago Delight) and hails from the same family as multiple stakes winner Cafeteria (Lunchtime). He stood his first season at Glenlogan Park in Queensland where he covered 124 mares and with Glenlogan Park no longer stallion stallions he will be a permanent resident of Woodside Park Stud.

“We are very grateful to Glenlogan Park Stud for providing Rich Enuff with a great start and we are pleased that they will still be very much involved with him by heavily supporting him in the coming seasons with their own mares having taken the decision to no longer stand stallions,” said Woodside Park Stud’s Matt Tillett.

The roster is completed by exciting young stallion Zoustar (Northern Meteor) who returns to Victoria again this season and will stand for a fee of $44,000 (inc GST). Winner of the Golden Rose Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) and the Coolmore Stud Stakes (registered as the Ascot Vale Stakes) (Gr 1, 1200m) during a stellar racing career.

A son of champion sire Northern Meteor (Encosta De Lago), Zoustar has made an excellent start at the sales with his first crop. Zoustar was a leading first season sire at last month’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, with 32 lots sold at an average of $256,156 and a top lot of $550,000. Zoustar, who stands alternate years at Widden Stud in the Hunter Valley, has 23 yearlings on offer at next week’s Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

“We are excited to be standing three top class stallions at Woodside Park in 2017,” Tillett said. “Written Tycoon continues to go from strength to strength, following on from a brilliant year on the track last season with Capitalist and Luna Rossa winning major two-year-old Group One’s within two weeks of each other. “His son Rich Enuff was a record breaker on the track and we are delighted to have him stand at the farm alongside his father this year. Rich Enuff is the highest rated son of Written Tycoon and we will be supporting him with some of our best mares. “Our roster is completed by Zoustar who has made a significant impression with his first crop. It was extremely pleasing for us to see his first yearlings purchased by some astute judges.”
