His
half-brother So You Think is acclaimed as one of the best racehorses in the
world and while three year-old colt Now You Know may never rise to that
standard, he was good enough to post his second win at Sandown on Wednesday.
The Danny O'Brien trained son of Elusive City (USA) led all the way for Craig
Williams and fought on strongly to the line to win the 1400 metre Ratings 72
event by a short head, his overall record now two wins and two seconds from
seven starts.
Now You Know was a $260,000 purchase for his trainer from the Windsor Park
draft at the 2010 NZB Premier Yearling Sale and is the eighth winner from eight
foals to race for Group II winning Tights (USA) mare Triassic.
Now 21 years of age, Triassic has achieved lasting fame as the dam of So You
Think, who has won 12 races, eight of them at Group I level including
back-to-back Cox Plates before his sale and transfer to Ireland last year.
The full brother to So You Think will be offered at the 2012 Inglis Australian
Easter Yearling Sale as Lot 436 with Willow Park Stud putting the polish on the
son of High Chaparral (IRE)(pictured above).
