Think 'n' Fly as a yearling
He found plenty of stamina when the time came and kept galloping hard to the line to win by half a length with nearly four lengths back to the next horse.
The race was marred by a nasty fall back in the field when Chris Caserta, Joe Bowditch, Michael Walker and Thomas Stockdale all fell from their mounts and the meeting was abandoned as they received treatment on the track.
All four jockeys were later cleared of serious injury and all four horses regained their feet and were later caught safely.
A big rangy colt, Think ‘n’ Fly is only going to get better with time and further racing and lacks for nothing in determination.
So You Think
He is the third winner from three foals to race from stakes-winning Flying Spur mare Gliding, a half-sister to five time Group I winner and $4million earner Eremein, who won the Australian Derby among his Group I victories.
Connections will no doubt be hoping Think ‘n’ Fly can also deliver classic success as his three year-old season unfolds.
With a super consistent stream of winners and a new Group I winner this year in Nakeeta Jane, So You Think has settled into becoming a very reliable source of winners over all distances and being Danehill free is the perfect working outcross for so many mares explaining why he covered 225 mares last year, his biggest ever book to date.
By the late great High Chaparral (IRE), So You Think stands at Coolmore at a fee of $38,500.
