oodareyou broke maiden on debut at Hawkesbury in July and her overall record is now four wins and a second from five starts with prizemoney in excess of $268,000.

A $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase for G Waterhouse / A Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds from the Kitchwin Hills draft, Howgoodareyou has a big ownership group headed by Bangaloe Stud’s Julia Ritchie.

Howgoodareyou was a $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Kitchwin Hills.

She is the first winner for Group III winning Anacheeva mare Ana Royale, who traces back to Group II winning blue hen Twiglet, the dam of Group I winners Fairy King Prawn, Easy Rocking and the dam of dual Group I winner Cosmic Endeavour.

Howgoodareyou looks a potential new stakes-winner for So You Think, who sired 131 winners of $18.9 million last season including 11 stakes-winners highlighted by two Group I winning sprinters in Think About It and Palaisipan.

He stands at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $99,000.
