Written Tycoon has an amazing crop of three year-olds running for him this season that has now yielded an impressive 12 stakes-winners with expensive colt Media World taking out the $250,000 Group III Hawkesbury Guineas (1400m) on Saturday.
The highest priced yearling from that stellar crop when purchased by Yulong for $1.4million from Fairview Park Stud at Inglis Easter, Media World broke his maiden at Hawkesbury on this day last year when winning the non Black Type Clarendon Stakes for juveniles.
Trained by Peter Snowden and ridden by Tyler Schiller, Media World was second up from a spell and looked good scoring first up in midweek company last month, so was expected to run well again albeit up in class.
Media World got to the front in the straight and held off a late bid from Just Party to win by a head taking his overall record to three wins and three placings from 10 starts with prizemoney topping $340,000.
A trip to Brisbane would now be on the cards for Media World with races like the Group III BRC Fred Best Classic and possibly the Group I BRC Stradbroke Handicap on the radar if he continues to improve.
"I will take him to Brisbane for the Fred Best (Classic) next,'' Snowden said.
"I'm hoping he could emerge as a Stradbroke Handicap horse. He's heading in the right direction, that's for sure.''
Media World was bred by Frank and Christine Cook’s Mystery Downs and they retain a share in his ownership.
He is the first foal of Group III winner Epaulette mare Meryl, whose next foal, a colt by Capitalist sold for $320,000 at Inglis Easter when bought by MG Price Racing & Breeding / Roll The Dice Syndication / Rogers Bloodstock.
Meryl certainly throws a good type as her third foal, a filly by Pierata sold for $330,000 at Inglis Easter this year to Randwick Bloodstock and she has a Pierro filly to follow.
Media World is the 76th stakes-winner for Written Tycoon, who is listed as private by Yulong for this spring.
