Another G1 Victory for Think It Over

The $1million Group I ATC Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday was supposed to be a walk in the park for glamour mare Fangirl, but once again, as we have seen him do so many times in the past, So You Think’s battle seasoned warrior Think It Over was having none of that.

New SW for So You Think

Underrated So You Think mare Saint Alice added valuable winning black type to her blossoming career record when she took out the Listed Matamata Veterinary Services Equine Kaimai Stakes (2000m) in a blanket finish.

One to Watch – Benalla

There aren’t many grey horses by So You Think, but we saw one win on debut at Benalla on Tuesday and the horse he beat is a half-brother to boom filly Learning to Fly.

Another Karaka Graduate Salutes at Flemington

Talented apprentice jockey Celine Gaudrey picked up a winning double at Flemington on Saturday that featured plenty of connections with the New Zealand racing and breeding industry.

So United Wins $1million MM Subzero for Blueblood Thoroughbreds

A thrilling finish to the $1million Magic Millions Subzero (2200m) at the Gold Coast on Saturday delivered another victory for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott with six year-old So You Think gelding So United, a $190,000 Magic Millions purchase from Valiant Stud, who will offer eight yearlings in Book 2 starting on Monday.

First Win for Peltzer Sister – Family at Premier

With his first yearlings about to be offered at Magic Millions in January, top class sprinter miler Peltzer is well into the next phase of his career as a young stallion at Twin Hills Stud, but for his younger sister Madison Kate it’s all just beginning and she cast off maiden status in style at Cranbourne on Friday.
