Dirty Work Boosts 2021 Spendthrift Roster

Brilliant sprinter Dirty Work (Written Tycoon-Maidel, by Ad Valorem) is set to complete a six stallion 2021 Spendthrift Australia roster, with the announcement of the Gr2-winning son of Written Tycoon joining the team for the upcoming season. From a precocious sireline, with the combination of potent speed and stunning looks, Dirty Work is an exciting addition to the Victorian stallion ranks. A powerful physical, the $800,000 yearling was purchased from Sledmere Stud at the Inglis Easter Sale. His victory in the Gr2 Schillaci Stakes showed a barn-storming last to first finish that saw him record a scintillating meeting-record 32.93s for the final 600m, beating home four-time Group 1 winner, Hey Doc. It was this electrifying speed that he possesses which allowed Dirty Work to secure the Kensington 1100m track record, delivering the fastest ever time by a colt at Randwick (1:01.74), achieved as a 3YO in November 2019. “Written Tycoon this season is a fireworks display. From his own progeny flying on the track, to that of his son Capitalist, we’re very excited to be adding arguably his best-looking sire son to the Spendthrift Australia roster,” Spendthrift Australia’s General Manager Garry Cuddy said. Dirty Work will be available under Spendthrift’s generous Share the Upside program, where a limited number of breeders will be given the opportunity to secure a breeding right for the lifetime of the stallion.
