Gun Coolmore sires Pierro and So You Think have been having a quiet battle to reach the goal of 100 Australian winners for the season and while Pierro remains tonight on nervous 99, So You Think has smashed out a quick double on Monday to get his ton.

So You ThinkThe 10 time Group I winner was in form at Cessnock today with wins for So You Merge and lightly raced three year-old filly She's My Girl, who broker maiden at her third start as hot favourite after two previous placings.

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.
