Champion sire Written Tycoon notches 1000th winner

A modest Geelong maiden has produced a significant moment in Australian breeding, with champion sire Written Tycoon notching his 1000th individual winner.

The milestone was achieved when three-year-old Bedourie, racing in Yulong’s famous green and white silks, broke through for his maiden success on Friday. The colt’s victory etched another chapter in the remarkable career of his sire.

Written Tycoon has long been a flagship stallion for Yulong and will stand again at a private fee in 2025 as he continues into the twilight of a distinguished stud career. Crowned Australia’s champion sire in 2020/2021, his influence extends through generations, and with a host of high-quality Yulong mares set to be matched with him, his impact on the industry will resonate well into the future.
