Promising
young stayer Betcha Thinking became the latest winner for champion racehorse So
You Think when saluting as favourite on Friday night at Canterbury.
A homebred for the Ingham family prepared by Chris Waller, Betcha Thinking was
luckless when finishing fifth at Randwick at his previous start on Cup Day.
He relished the step up to 1900 metres and made amends with a powerful length
and a half win.
Foaled and raised at Coolmore, Betcha Thinking is the first foal of metro
winning Encosta de Lago mare We Betcha, a daughter of Group II winner Wager
from the family of Group I winner True Jewels.
Betcha Thinking is another progressive winner for So You Think, whose daughter
La Diosa is favourite for the Group I NZ 1,000 Guineas on Saturday, while his
three year-old son So Si Bon is set to take on older horses in the Group II MRC
Zipping Classic aftare a fine last start fourth in the Group I VRC Victoria Derby.
