Written Tycoon Nominations to be Auctioned Online via Bloodstock.com.au's 'Everyday Auctions'

14th Apr 2016

Woodside Park Stud in conjunction with Inglis Digital have announced an exclusive opportunity to secure a nomination for the 2016 breeding season to one of the hottest sires in Australasia, WRITTEN TYCOON.

The 2016 service fee of $49,500 inc. GST was announced by Woodside late last week and his book closed just a few days later.

“It’s hardly surprising that we have been inundated, as Written Tycoon has firmly established himself in the elite category of stallions this season, siring two individual Group One winning two-year-olds in a fortnight, including the Golden Slipper winner Capitalist,” said Matt Tillett of Woodside Park Stud.

In a first for the Australian Thoroughbred Industry, Inglis Digital’s “Everyday Auction” platform through Bloodstock.com.au, will auction the FINAL FIVE nominations to Written Tycoon for 2016.

“Nick Melmeth from Inglis Digital approached us a month ago and suggested an online auction of a few Written Tycoon nominations would be an idea worth considering. He explained the online platform is rapidly growing and it would be an opportunity for both the breeders and us,” explained Tillett.   “Even though Written Tycoon has extraordinary fertility, we want to look after him, so we have limited his book to an exclusive 125 ‘outside’ mares for now,” added Tillett.   “The ownership syndicate have approved an additional five nominations to be auctioned in May-June to give all the breeders who have missed out an opportunity to secure a nomination to the super stallion."   Users will have a period of five days to bid on each listed nomination from Monday morning through to 7pm that Friday night.

Payment terms will be as per Woodside Park Stud's standard nomination contract.
