One to Watch – Swan Hill

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday October 2
The powerful Darren Weir stable produced an impressive debut winner at Swan Hill on Tuesday by former champion racehorses and leading sire So You Think, who narrowly missed Group I success last weekend with D’Argento and Nakeeta Jane.

Delusions as a yearlingThree year-old filly Delusions kicked off her career with a commanding victory in the 1200 metre maiden, steaming home out wide from back in the field to win running away by four lengths.

A modest $80,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Edinglassie draft for Forest Lodge Racing, Delusions is the second winner for Kissame Mucho, an unraced half-sister by Fastnet Rock to stakes-winners Frespanol and Essington.

Already the sire of four Group I winners, So You Think stands at Coolmore at a fee of $44,000.
