The
Listed SAJC Port Adelaide Guineas over 1600 metres at Morphettville on Saturday
was won in good style by progressive So You Think filly So We Are.
Placed second, two starts back in the Listed SAJC Laelia Stakes, the Phillip
Stokes trained filly was ridden quietly by John Allen from an outside gate in
the big field of 17 and hit the line full of running to win by half a length
over Fastnet Rock filly Lady Young.
Retained to race by her breeders, So We Are has the consistent record of three
wins and four placings from nine starts with prizemoney in excess of $132,000.
She is the best of two winners from stakes-placed Bianconi (USA) mare Oui Si
Attitude, a half-sister to Group II placed Miss With Attitude from an Ag Khan
nurtured European family that has produced Group I winners such as Shawanda,
Sharaya, Shareta and Encke.
So We Are is the 18th stakes-winner for So You Think, who stands at
Coolmore this spring at a fee of $38,500.
She joins a list of Guineas winners for So You Think that includes G1 NZ 1,000 Guineas winner La Bella Diosa, G1 Randwick Guineas winner Inference and G Rosehill Guineas winner D'Argento.
