Champion Winner for So You Think

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 18
Champion Thoroughbreds are on a winning roll with stakes-winners Kuro and Target in Sight followed by another smart winner at Sandown on Wednesday in promising staying filly Rodin's Doll, a daughter of champion racehorse So You Think.

Rodin's Doll - Champion Thoroughbreds TwitterThe Robert Smerdon trained filly was having her fourth start and improved with the addition of blinkers to power home and win the 1800 metre maiden by the best part of a length.

A $140,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Strawberry Hill draft, Rodin's Doll is certainly bred to stay being a half-sister to Group III MRC Ethereal Stakes winner Dawnie Perfect from Group I Queensland Oaks winner Zagalia.

She is the 14th Australian winner this season for So You Think, who is also the sire of Group I New Zealand Thousand Guineas winner La Diosa.

Coolmore based So You Think is up running third on the Australian Second Season Sires List behind Smart Missile and Foxwedge.
