Height - 16 1/2 hh

Weekend Escape is a two-time winning, city placed daughter of Exceed And Excel’s Sires Produce and Caulfield Guineas winner, Helmet. She is out of the fantastic winning producing mare, Induct. Incredibly, Induct is the dam of NINE winners from eleven foal to race. These include the talented multiple black type winner of over $550,000, BROKEN as well as the stakes placed SUNDAY ESCAPE. She descends from a family littered with exceptional black type performers, which include the exceptional KEEPER, METAL BENDER (4-time Group 1 winner) and more recently, the hugely talented and recently announced stallion, SWEET RIDE!

She is the dam of two living foals, both fillies. The first a filly by the late great MAGNUS and the second by the equally impressive NICCONI, both have proven to be fantastic producers of winners and have given this mare a superb start to her career.

Weekend Escape is being sold in foal to a young sire of champion sire, Written Tycoon, who looks to have an incredibly bright future ahead of him judging by the start he has made. He is of course, WRITTEN BY! Successful in the Group 1 Blue Diamond at two, Written By has quickly stamped himself as being one of the brightest young sires in Australia. Already the sire of 36 individual winners including the likes of this season’s exciting Group 2 juvenile winning STRAIGHT CHARGE, last season’s Group 3 2yo scorer THE NOVELIST and the smart WA stakes winner RIPCORD. Written By is now a leading second season sire, and it’s unsurprising his yearlings continue to be in great demand Country wide. His yearlings sold up to $410,000 last year with a phenomenal average of $96,000 across the premier sales in 2023. This year we have seen his yearlings continue to be in high demand selling up to an incredible $700,000 at the recent Easter sale and averaging over $90,000 once again at the premier sales. Here is your opportunity to purchase a young, unexposed mare with a beautiful black type pedigree safely in foal to WRITTEN BY on an early October service date.
