A
cousin of Group I MRC Blue Diamond winner Catchy, exciting colt I Thought So
kept the winning roll going for leading Australian Second Crop sire So You Think
with a dominant win at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
A last start maiden winner at Randwick on February 15, the David Pfieffer trained
I Thought So powered through the heavy going to win over 1200 metres by a
couple of lengths.
The striking colt became the fourth winner for his sire in the last 11 days,
following Group I success with Inference and a Group II scalp with ex-New
Zealander La Bella Diosa, who runs in the Group I ATC Coolmore Classic this
Saturday.
"He's a pretty boy and he knows it but he's very professional at
home," Pfieffer said.
"I loved the way he put the race away today and showed a bit of
class."
The So You Think progeny are proving adept in wet ground which was on display
again as I Thought So ploughed through heavy (8) conditions.
"We'll keep going forward from here – the tracks are probably going to be
an asset for him, especially this time of year," Pfieffer said.
"I know the Gosford Guineas is just around the corner so that might be a
nice three-year-old race for him and it's at the same distance.
"There's an exciting future ahead."
The $150,000 Listed Gosford Guineas (1200m) is scheduled for March 30.
A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Coolmore draft for his trainer, I
Thought So has won two of three starts and runs for a large group of owners.
Foaled and raised at Coolmore as was Catchy, I Thought So is the first winner
for stakes-placed Cat's Pyjamas, a full sister to Group II winner Cats Whisker,
the dam of star two year-old Catchy.
So You Think has three entries for the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale
next week and 17 for Inglis Easter.
