Red Letter Day for Written Tycoon

The day just gets better and better at Caulfield for Woodside Park Stud's flagship stallion Written Tycoon who celebrated his third stakes-winner on the day when defending champion Super Cash burst between runners to down the veteran Flamberge and the Caulfield Guineas winner Merchant Navy in the $200,000 Group II Schweppes Rubiton Stakes (100m).

Following wins by the 2yo colt Written By in the Group III Blue Diamond Stakes and the 3yo filly Booker in the Group III Kevin Hayes Stakes, Super Cash added one for the older generation of Written Tycoons with a short-half-head decision over the game Flamberge with Merchant Navy, looking for further than 1100m, a neck back in third.

After claiming the scalp of Chautauqua last year, Super Cash looked in trouble when Craig Williams was in a zip-fastener pocket. When she found some clear air, the Andrew Noblet-trained mare stormed between runners to claim the prize.

The Group I Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) in Adelaide on May 5 is the nominated target for Super Cash.
