Description

Racing and Breeding Prospect. Offered for unreserved sale.

Skywriter is a dual Brisbane winner over 1350m. She has also been placed in Melbourne.

By leading Australian sire Written Tycoon. One of the best stallions to stand here in recent times, Written Tycoon has finished in the top ten on the Australian Sires List for the past nine seasons, including being our Champion Sire for the 2020-21 season, and currently ranks third on the 2024-25 season Sires List.

From humble beginnings, Written Tycoon has sired nearly 1,000 winners including high class Group 1 winners such as Capitalist, Coolangatta, Lady of Camelot, Ole Kirk, Southport Tycoon, Private Life and so many more.

Written Tycoon is now well on the way to becoming one of our leading broodmare sires. In 2024, his daughters produced Group 1 winner Vibrant Sun (SAJC Australasian Oaks) and Group 3 winner Tobeornottobe (VRC Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes), and for the first time he broke into the top fifty on the Australian Broodmare Sires List.

Skywriter is out of six-times winner (Perth 2yo & Singapore) Sky Princess, a daughter of Champion US 2yo and Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense, sire of more than 100 SW’s, and broodmare sire of over 600 winners and $100 million in earnings.

Closely related to Gr.3 placed Little Baldy, Skywriter’s third dam is dual Melbourne 2yo and 3yo Listed winner, and Gr.1 placed Century Pike (by Champion Sire, Century). She in turn is a half-sister to Gr.1 winning 2yo Rechabite (VRC Sires’ Produce).

This is the same female family which has produced Australian Group 1 winners Fangirl ($8.8 million), Special Harmony (VRC Oaks, Thousand Guineas), Old Fashion (WATC Railway S) and Trix of the Trade (WATC Railway S).

Skywriter hasn’t been too far away in most of her Brisbane runs in her recent preparation, including a third placing at Doomben in late October. You would expect a drop back in grade to provincial and/or country class racing is likely to deliver positive results to her new owners. And at the completion of her racing career, being a dual City winner by a Champion Sire, she will fit nicely into someone’s broodmare band.

Skywriter went to the paddock sound on 15 January following her most recent run on 8 January. The ownership group have decided to move her on and concentrate on younger horses coming through. She has no vices, is sweet natured and is very quiet to ride.
