Racing career
Written Tycoon commenced his race career with an easy win at Randwick as a pronounced 7/4 favourite.
Two weeks later, he was narrowly beaten by filly Fashions Afield at Randwick. Fashions Afield would later frank the form in claiming the Sires' Produce Stakes and Reisling Stakes.
Written Tycoon then recorded his only other career victory when winning the Todman Stakes at Rosehill.{{cite web |url= http://iskander.com/s3-stallions/c9-stallions/written-tycoon-aus/ |title=Iskander Stallions |publisher=iskander.com| accessdate=12 October 2020}}
