Horse Racing News - So You Think – Sold

Wednesday, 3 November 2010

Australia’s best galloper So You Think may never race in Australia again after the horse’s owners agreed to sell half of their prized thoroughbred to Coolmore for an undisclosed sum.

So You Think finished third in Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup after claiming his second Cox Plate 10-days prior and it is has been reported elsewhere that Coolmore will pay around $30 million for a 50 percent share.

“There are still protocols in the transaction to be completed before it is signed sealed and delivered,” part-owner Dato Tan Chin Nam’s racing manager Duncan Ramage said.

“However, they are going to race and breed the horse as a joint venture.

“It is known Coolmore would like to race the horse in Europe and we would have to take that into consideration.”

It is expected So You Think will be transferred from the Bart Cummings stables into the Ballydoyle yard of legendary Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien.

Earlier this year, Coolmore purchased former Australian sprinter Starspangledbanner, who was transferred to O'Brien's and won the Group I Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Group I July Cup at Newmarket.

So You Think has won eight of his 12 starts and his career earnings shot past $5.5 million with the $450,000 he collected from his placing in the Melbourne Cup.
