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.
The 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.
