The apt naming of tomorrow’s Group III Red Anchor Stakes contender, Dosh, is an obvious play on her sire, the Written Tycoon stallion, Rich Enuff. Fortunately, form has followed aspiration in this case with the bold, front-running filly heading into Saturday with two wins and two placings from four outings (beaten a lip in the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes at her last run) and over $300,000 in stakes. Clearly greater [...]
As the Victorian breeding industry continues to strengthen its stallion ranks, the support Woodside Park Stud continues to receive from breeders not only locally but nationally, further highlights the resilience of the industry and we look forward to standing three quality stallions in the upcoming season. Heading Woodside Park Stud stallion roster this year is Fastnet Rock’s most successful son at stud, the impressive looking, multiple G1 sire Foxwedge (pictured). [...]
Dominant in his two Australian Group 1 victories, Deep Impact’s Tosen Stardom has always been held in high regard by Woodside Park Stud as well as his shareholders, and with his first yearling crop set to go under the hammer in the upcoming Magic Millions Yearling Sale, we look forward to seeing them in the sale ring.

The early success of Japanese-bred stallions in Australia was on show today with the first 2YO trials of the season conducted at Royal Randwick. The first of the two trials was taken out by I Love Lucy, the Lee Curtis-trained daughter of Maurice (Jpn), just ahead of the Woodside Park Stud-bred and sold Little Miss Magic, a filly by Written Tycoon. The very next 2YO trial of the day saw [...]
In 2013, when Mark Rowsthorn took control of Woodside Park Stud from his father, just a month into the job one of his first major decisions was to purchase into the then promising young sire Written Tycoon. Recently crowned Champion Victorian Sire for a fourth consecutive year, such is the opinion of Written Tycoon that leading Hunter Valley-based Arrowfield Stud brokered a deal with the shareholders to stand the multiple [...]
Sunday’s victory by the unbeaten Contrail in the time-honoured G1 Japan Derby was the sixth winner in the past nine years for Champion Sire Deep Impact, further bringing attention to his only dual Australian G1-winning son at stud in Australia. A winner of the G1 Toorak Handicap and the G1 Emirates Stakes, as well a third in the G1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) book ended by consecutive second placed efforts in [...]
With “Tosen Stardom Drops From The Sky” forever etched in our minds from Matt Hill’s call of the 2017 G1 Emirates Stakes, the dual G1-winning son of Deep Impact has been extremely well received at stud as he is set to embark on his third season in the coming months. Covering a solid book of 123 mares in his first season, a select handful of those first-crop weanlings will be [...]
It’s been a busy week for the Woodside Park Stud team with plenty of phone calls about the stallions, confirming our drafts for upcoming sales, as well as monitoring the success of stallion progeny on the track. Written Tycoon had another good week when his highlight performance came on Saturday at Flemington when his 3yo daughter La Chevalee defeated a quality field which included many last start winners to record [...]
