Tara Madgwick - Monday September 18
Coming off a weekend when he sired a new stakes-winner in Fox Swift and stakes performers Foxplay and Albumin, Foxwedge kept the momentum going with an impressive debut winner at Goulburn on Monday.

Think Like a FoxPrepared on the track by Danny Williams, three year-old filly Think Like a Fox was favourite for the 1300 metre maiden.

She settled back in the field and unwound a powerful finish to score a thrilling nose win to arrive right on the line.

A modest $30,000 Inglis Classic purchase for her trainer from the Lincoln Farm draft, Think Like a Fox is the first winner for Ithinkso, a half-sister by Anabaa (USA) to triple Group I winner and $2.2 million earner Spinning Hill.
