Description
PENFRIEND (WRITTEN TYCOON X KIWI KATE) – OFFERED IN FOAL TO SEJARDAN WITH A FREE 2025 COVER TO SEJARDAN.
A quality young broodmare with pedigree, performance and strong commercial alignment—PENFRIEND presents an exciting opportunity for breeders seeking proven bloodlines paired with an emerging sire on the rise.
A two-time winner on the track, PENFRIEND is a sister to Group 3 winner SAN BERNARDINO, a high-class performer known for his toughness and talent—attributes reflected in this family’s strong racetrack profile.
She is in foal on an October cover to SEJARDAN, one of the most exciting young sires in Australia. A Group 2 Todman Stakes and Group 3 Breeders’ Plate winner with elite juvenile speed, SEJARDAN has been extremely well received in the sales ring.
His first weanlings have averaged $64,900 from 10 sold, including a standout $130,000 colt out of Statuette purchased by Kestrel Thoroughbreds’ Bruce Slade at the 2025 Magic Millions Weanling Sale. Additional supporters include respected judges such as Riverstone Lodge, Belmont Bloodstock, and Bevan Smith Bloodstock—a strong indicator of the stallion’s growing momentum.
PENFRIEND is by Written Tycoon, a Champion Sire and now a rapidly emerging force as a broodmare sire. His daughters have already produced Group 1 winner VIBRANT SUN, as well as stakeswinners MACHINE GUN GRACIE and TOBEORNOTTOBE, showcasing his influence through the maternal line.
Smartly covered, well-related and commercially aligned—PENFRIEND is a mare that fits straight into any broodmare band.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER: COMPLIMENTARY 2025 COVER TO SEJARDAN
As an added incentive, Blue Gum Farm is offering a free 2025 season cover to SEJARDAN. This nomination can ONLY be used during the 2025 breeding season for a mare of your choice. SEBRING, SEJARDAN’s sire, is a proven source of speed and success, with progeny such as FANGIRL, CRITERION, NETTOYER and DISSIDENT making significant impacts on the track. SEJARDAN carries forward these genes, positioning him as a promising stallion for the future and judging by his foals on the ground he is well and truly on track.
