So You Think 3YO Wins $100,000 Inglis Xtra Bonus

Tara Madgwick - Thursday July 3

Good placement from the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable for progressive three year-old So You Think gelding Aloysius, who cast off maiden status at Hawkesbury on Thursday in a race that featured a lucrative Inglis Xtra maiden bonus.

Given time to mature, Aloysius only had his first start last month finishing fourth in a metro maiden over 1400m and looked well suited stepping out to 1600m for this assignment.

He was well rated in front by Tim Clark to score by a length providing a great result for his ownership group headed by Seymour Bloodstock in whose colours he runs.

A $310,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Kitchwin Hills draft for Mark Pilkington Management (FBAA) / Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, he was a successful pinhook having been bought initially from Attunga Stud at the MM Weanling Sale for $250,000.

Aloysius is the first winner for metro winner Nicconi Leggera, a half-sister by Nicconi to Group II placed Cerberus Gal, the dam of stakes-winner Irukandji.

With 154 winners to his credit this season, So You Think is running fifth on the leading Australian Sires by winners list and is exceptional value this spring at Coolmore at a fee of $44,000.
