Second Winner for So You Think

Tara Madgwick - Sunday April 3

Ten-time Group I winner So You Think sired his second winner when promising two year-old filly La Diosa scored an impressive debut win at Riccarton in New Zealand on Saturday.

Trained by AJ Brown, she was a short priced favourite and skipped clear to win the 1000 metre scamper by more than two lengths.

A half-sister to Group III winner Solid Billing, stakes-winner Thy and Group I placed Galileo's Galaxy, La Diosa is the eighth winner from terrific producer and Group II winner A Star Affair.

So You Think was also represented by the highly promising colt Rivo Boy, who placed on debut last month and then rattled home at Randwick to finish fourth in the Group I ATC Sires Produce Stakes.

His rider Brenton Avdulla was full of praise for the youngster.

"He ran super," he said.

"We ended up getting a great run through and he found the line nicely. I reckon next time in he's going to be a Derby horse."

So You Think has an impressive draft of yearlings for the 2016 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale starting on Tuesday. Click here to see them.
