Music Magnate continued Written Tycoon’s dream run with another Group 1 in the Doomben 10,000 (1350m) on Saturday.

It was the third Group 1 for the Woodside Park champion this year following Capitalist (Golden Slipper) and Luna Rossa (NZ Sires’ Produce Stakes).

Music Magnate (4g Written Tycoon – Concert Girl by Danehill Dancer) appreciated a frenetic speed battle up front before swooping late to score by three-quarters of a length from Azkadellia and Charlie Boy.

“I’ve always had the winter in mind with this horse and we deliberately gave him an easy autumn,” winning trainer Bjorn Baker said.  “He didn’t show me much as a two-year-old but I’ve got a lot of time for the Written Tycoon breed and he’s another one who can really gallop.”

Baker also prepares Written Tycoon’s last-start G2 Doomben Champagne Classic winner Winning Rupert and he purchased Music Magnate for $45,000 at the 2013 NZ Karaka Select Sale.

“I didn’t expect them to go so quick but it played in to our hands,” jockey Kerrin McEvoy said.  “He’s improving all the time and was terrific today.”

Music Magnate launched his career with a running double at Warwick Farm & Canterbury as a summer three year-old and only graduated to back-type company with a Group 3 victory in the Hall Mark Stakes at Randwick last month.

Written Tycoon banked another $480,000 in progeny earnings from the Doomben 10,000 and he’s in third place on the Australian sires’ premiership behind Street Cry and Not A Single Doubt with $9.26 million.

There’s more in prizemoney to come at the winter carnival with Baker targeting his stablemates at the G1 Stradbroke Hcp (Music Magnate) and G1 J J Atkins Stakes (Winning Rupert).

Written Tycoon is already booked out this year despite Woodside Park increasing his service fee from $19,800 to $49,500.
