Another Exciting 3YO Winner for So You Think

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 12

So You Think made it a race to race double at Warwick Farm on Wednesday when Mark Newnham unleashed three year-old filly Street Gossip to win a very competitive 1200m maiden on debut, not long after Pungo showed serious potential with his maiden win.

A $140,000 Magic Millions purchase for her trainer from the Riversdale Farm draft, Street Gossip was easy in the market, but charged home from last on the turn for Tom Sherry to beat the hot favourite Pereille by a head.

 

“It’s only the last month that she’s started working better and the penny has dropped as she has been a bit highly strung,” said Tom Sherry.

“Today we thought was an educational run and if she hit the line well we’d step her up in trip and that’s where we would see the best of her, but she relaxed really well and when I gave her a tap down the shoulder coming to the 600m I could feel I had plenty of horse left, so it was just a matter of navigating a path so we could really accelerate.

“She pinned the ears back and hit the line strong, so she can’t do much better than that first up.”

Street Gossip was a $140,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Bred by Wall Street Thoroughbreds, Street Gossip is the first winner for metro winning Casino Prince Wahng Wah, a three-quarter sister to stakes-placed Warranty from the Celebria / Twyla branch of the famed Dancing Show (USA) family that has given us champion sire Redoute’s Choice and a slew of Group winners.

The Celebria branch of the family has been in the news of late thanks to blue-blood Dubawi mare In Italian, who won her second Group I in North America last weekend, read about her here.

Wahng Wah has two more So You Think fillies to follow, a two year-old and a yearling.
