Lightly raced So You Think mare Beautiful Mind scored a career best win in the Listed WATC Jungle Dawn Classic at Ascot in Perth on Saturday.
The Lindsey Smith trained mare has been given plenty of time to mature and added valuable Black Type to her already impressive record when scoring neck win in the 1400 metre feature.
With four wins and three seconds from nine starts, Beautiful Mind has already won over $129,000 in prizemoney.
A $250,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Goldin Farms draft for Boomer Bloodstock Pty Ltd (FBAA) / L Smith, Beautiful Mind was bred by Goldin Farms and is the best of two winners from Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks winner Small Minds.
Small Minds has a yearling filly by Fastnet Rock and a colt foal to follow by the same sire.
Beautiful Mind is the 23rd stakes-winner for So You Think, who has had a great start to the season.
The champion son of High Chapparal (IRE) has sired six stakes-winners and winners of over $3.8 million in prizemoney.
