It's the first time So You Think has hit a century of winners and caps a great season for him with a new Group I winner in Nakeeta Jane and an undefeated stakes-winner in Fasika.

So You Think is priced to please this year at $38,500 and covered a big book of 225 mares last year so will have plenty of ammunition in the locker for those considering his services this year.
