Arguably her best win to date. Sets up the potential highlight of the racing season in the Doncaster. If she truly is the public’s horse then you know what to do @cwallerracing@ArrowfieldStud
🏇Well Written ran a 103.3 WFA Performance Rating ⏱️⚖️📊 to win the Karaka Millions.
That is an elite performance, fully aligned with what the eye suggested, and clearly her best so far.
It was not just the number, but how she ran it. She accelerated sharply off the back of an already strong tempo, a trait we only see among the genuinely elite.
Her broader profile reinforces that view. She now has peak ratings of 99.5, 100.5, and 103.3 across five starts for five wins. Saturday confirmed she is still on an upward trajectory.
Some context matters...
Since the start of the 2017/18 season, only one 3YO in New Zealand has rated higher. Imperatriz ran 103.5 when winning the G1 NZ Thoroughbred Breeders over 1600m, having already produced a 102 two starts earlier over 1400m. At this stage, she is the most natural point of comparison for Well Written.
Looking across to Australia only reinforces her standing.
Among 3YO fillies, Tempted leads the figures with ratings of 104 and 103.6, but both were over 1200m. Once you move into the 1400-1600m range, the benchmark drops sharply. The best-rated filly is Sheza Alibi at 100.5, winning the Sandown Guineas. Even among the Colts at those distances, the list is thin. Beiwacht’s 108 Golden Rose sits as a clear outlier, after which you are back around the 100 mark with Sheza Alibi and Autumn Boy at 100.4.
On the numbers, the hype around Well Written is well and truly justified.
