Meet Written In Munny
This colt is by Champion sire Written Tycoon who stands at Yulong stud and is out of a three time winning Munnings mare Always Inthe Munny.
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 of the sons of the former Australian Champion Sire are now forging their own careers at stud, including Leading First-Season Sire Capitalist, Rich Enuff, Winning Rupert, Written By and Ole Kirk.
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 70 individual stakes winners include two Golden Slipper victors in Capitalist and Lady Of Camelot, Blue Diamond winner Written By, and a further 14 Gr.1 winners including 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 $1.8 million in 2025.
