Yearling filly, Written Tycoon x Factor of Safety
We welcome a Written Tycoon filly from the Encosta De Lago mare Factor Of Safety.
This filly was a key target filly for us on Day 2. She is by one of the best and most consistent sires in Australia, Written Tycoon, who just yesterday had a filly sell for $1.5million; he gets fast young horses year in year out. She was the top pick of vendor Woodside Park and I had to agree after inspecting their draft.
I loved this filly as a type, she’s a big powerful unit with presence and strength and great natural muscle tone. She could be an early type but there’s real substance there to say she will mature and keep improving. Encosta De Lago is a fabulous broodmare sire and generally speaking his progeny continue to improve with age.
I was prepared to bid up to $300,000 – $325,000 for our filly so I was thrilled to get her at the price we did.
She will be trained by Lindsey Smith at Warrnambool and hopefully she’s a filly that we can steer towards the $2million 2yo Magic Millions Classic race next year.
