One to Watch Wins Again

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 1
So You Think colt Tamasa was made a 'One to Watch' when he scored easily on debut at Warrnambool last month and the Darren Weir three year-old made it two from two when scoring at Bendigo on Wednesday.

Tamasa as a yearlingHe carried 59.5 kg to a short head win in the 1400 metre contest, weaving a passage through along the inside to score a tenacious win.

A $160,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Edinburgh Park draft for part owner G Davies, Tamasa was bred by Ian Smith and is the first foal for Listed Canberra Cup winner Fill the Page.

Edinburgh Park sold the second foal of Fill the Page, a colt by The Factor (USA), at Magic Millions this year for $240,000 to Spendthrift Australia.

Tamasa is one of a flurry of recent winners for So You Think joining the likes of Discreet Charm (Hawkesbury) and So Spirited (Warwick Farm).
