What\u2019s more, his filly Prestigious Miss \u2013 bred by Eliza Park \u2013 won easily in New Zealand yesterday.<br \/><i>(For a replay of the Tykook win at Morphettville, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theracessa.com.au\/show_video.php?track=30072&#038;date=2011-06-18&#038;race=3\">here<\/a>)<\/i><br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s worth remembering that Written Tycoon is not an expensive horse, standing for just $6,600 the last two seasons and has only been upped to $11,000 for this spring. I doubt there would be too many Champion First Season Sires of the past who have stood so cheaply!<br \/>\u201cMaybe he hasn\u2019t got the brand recognition of some of his peers, but he\u2019s a real look and book stallion AND he\u2019s got the ability to upgrade his mares.<br \/>\u201cThe stallion is an ideal outcross as there is no Danehill or Danzig in him and that\u2019s one of the reasons why we decided to stand him \u2026 that and the fact he\u2019s got Vain and Marscay on his female side and was a very fast 2YO.<br \/>\u201cThis is a great result for Victorian breeding \u2026 the last stallion standing in Victoria to take out a national First Season Sires\u2019 title was over 10 years ago.\u201d<br \/>Fleming was also keen to point out the great strides two of Eliza Park\u2019s other stallions are making.<br \/>\u201cWe\u2019re immensely proud to stand horses like Bel Esprit and Statue of Liberty,\u201d Fleming enthuses. \u201cBel Esprit is obviously lauded as the sire of the world\u2019s best sprinter in Black Caviar, but it should also be remembered that he\u2019s produced over 100 individual winners this season and has huge numbers coming through the ranks. With only five crops of racing age, he\u2019s about to win his fourth straight Victorian Sires\u2019 title.<br \/>\u201cAs for Statue of Liberty \u2026 well, Hay List is arguably the best male sprinter in the world and in any other era, he\u2019s Horse of the Year for sure!<br \/>\u201cWe must be doing something right \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eliza Park principal, Lee Fleming, is over the moon at the success of two of the leading guns at his Victorian nursery &#8211; soon to be Champion First Season Sire &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4009\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.rockylhc.com\/2015\/elizapark\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
