There is a reason to be excited

There is a strong argument that the most important time in the life of a racehorse is the four months after leaving the sales ring. In that time, the youngster’s education starts. An experienced eye can then give an indication of the talent, temperament and the physical pluses and minuses. Owners breathe a sigh of relief when the feedback is positive. Sometimes there is good reason to get excited.

All involved with the rising 2yo colt by So You Think from the mare Acouplamas (by Al Maher) are excited. While a stunning looking colt when acquired at the Inglis Easter Sale, it has been what has transpired since that gives confidence that this colt is superior.

Murray Baker and his partner Andrew Forsman are no strangers to a good horse. Their record in winning classics, especially Derbies, and their ability to campaign horses in Australia is unsurpassed. Murray, who was present when the colt was purchased, was effusive in his praise for the colt following his first preparation. He described him as a smooth mover, a quick learner and a colt with a great temperament. In short, he felt the colt had all the attributes of a good horse.

Since his acquisition, the family of the colt’s mother, Acouplamas has blossomed. Her 3yo, Seasons, is now a multiple city winner in Sydney and her 2yo, The August, has won both his starts in Victoria. So You Think himself has gone from strength. His daughter, Sopressa, won the G1 Australian Oaks and his son, D’Argento, the G1 Rosehill Guineas. Little more could be asked from this colt’s bloodlines.

It is a long journey from a sales ring to a Derby Success. However, dreams in racing are built on strong foundations. If breeding, conformation and athleticism count, those dreams have a good foundation. When successful trainers also tell owners that their horse shows real potential, those dreams have every chance of becoming a reality.
