BLASTED TALENT

WRITTEN TYCOON was trained by Gragame Begg and John O'Shea with a record of 2 wins and 3 seconds in 11 starts with both winners at 2YO including G2 Todman Slipper Trial Stakes with Nash Rawiller on board, but then he only ran on 11th place at the G1 Golden Slipper in the same year. The racing forms of WRITTEN TYCOON were just ordinary but he made a fruitful result as a stallion starting from 2007 with 81 black type contests winners including Golden Slipper champion CAPITALIST, Blue Diamond Stakes winner WRITTEN BY, G1 winner OLE KIRK, COOLANGATTA, 2019 Hong Kong Classic Cup winner MISSION TYCOON and so on. WRITTEN TYCOON turned as private stallion of Yulong Stud in 2023. BLASTED TALENT was trained by Bjorn Baker in Australia and took part in 2 barrier trials at Rosehill where he led all the way to win a 900M trial (10th Dec 2024) with Rachel King on board on soft going, then taken back under restraint and dashed well outside for 3rd in a 900M section (20th Jun 2025). His dam CHOUX DIVA is full-sister of former New Zealand Horse of the Year JIMMY CHOUX while the mare recorded 3 wins from 1580M and 2100M. BLASTED TALENT should be most suited in mile or middle-distance events and fine on dirt.
