PATONGA HEART

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 82 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. PATONGA HEART was formerly known as PATONGA and trained by Chris Waller in Australia with 1 win and 1 second in 3 starts. He finished 5th on his debut in a 1200M race at Kembla Grange, then he stepped up to 1400M where he tracked the leaders in second position and fought gamely to finish as the runner-up at Hawkesbury. He broke his maiden in a 1550M event by leading all the way at Canterbury. His original owners subsequently put him up for online auction where he was sold at AUD$ 255,000. His dam IN HER TIME was a dual G1 winner of the Lightning Stakes and the Galaxy. His full brother, HOROLOGIST, fetched a yearling price as high as AUD$ 1.8 million. PATONGA HEART already won 1550M in Australia, he is expected to stretch out to 1800M and should be fine at Happy Valley.
