Leading agent James Herron sourced champion Written Tycoon colt Capitalist at the Magic Millions and he was back at the Gold Coast to target the latest crop of foals by Woodside Park’s champion sire on Sunday.

Harron paid $230,000 for the younger brother to Written Tycoon winner Fiftyshadesofgrey and $170,000 for the colt from Scenic mare Summery.

“The brother to Fiftyshadesofgrey must have been one of the busiest weanlings on the complex,” Woodside Park’s Matt Tillett said.  “And he took everything in his stride which is very typical of the breed.”

The grey colt was bred by Jo Dejewski and she boards his dam Talkin’ About at Woodside Park.  The mare has also foaled Caveka who won at Moonee Valley for Peter Moody before transferring to Hong Kong.

The Written Tycoon – Summery foal is a younger brother to the yearling colt Harron bought for $125,000 at the Melbourne Premier Sale in March.  “We obviously like the breed and I was particularly taken by this colt – he’s a precocious looking type.”

Victorian freshmen Unencumbered and Fighting Sun were also represented at the National Weanling Sale.

Top price for Three Bridges stallion Unencumbered was the colt from Tangerine Dream (Fr) that made $80,000 to the bid of Perth buyer Steve Gardner.  He is a half-brother to G1 Tatt’s Tiara winner Pear Tart and is from the same family as recent G3 Adelaide National Stakes winner I Am A Star.

NSW based Marquee Stud pin-hooked the Unencumbered – Denarii colt for $60,000.  He is a half-brother to Stryker colt Baggio who launched his career with a winning double for trainer Gerald Ryan and owner Damien Flower earlier this year.

Sun Stud freshman Fighting Sun was also targeted for the 2017 yearling sales by Amarina Farm owner Craig Anderson.  He paid $65,000 for the colt from Sky Flyte (Darci Brahma) who is from the family of recent South African Group 2 winner Ovidio.
