So You Think Colt Wins G3 Carbine Club

So You Think was expected to get the winner of the Group III VRC Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday with race favourite Pungo all the rage, but at the 100m mark it was another So You Think colt that arrived on the scene with Perfect Thought powering to victory in the colours carried by his sire.

One to Watch – Gosford

So You Think does not get a lot of two year-old winners, so when one of his babies wins on debut by three it’s always going to catch the eye especially when it’s bred on a ‘nick that clicks’!
