In the make and shape of his leading sire, So You Think, this colt is from the 3yo stakes performer Valley Sweetheart. Hailing from a front-running family, he represented great buying very early on at Inglis Classic and is a type that is destined to follow in the footsteps of So You Think’s best progeny.
Trained by Chris Anderson, Eagle Farm.
Purchased for $120,000 from Paramount Thoroughbred’s Inglis Classic draft, this colt is by leading sire So You Think from the stakes performed mare Valley Sweetheart.
His dam won over 1200m and was 0.1 lengths runner-up in the 3yo Listed MVRC William Crockett Stakes behind Lake Geneva. He is a half-brother to two winners, including Spring Valley and Hammoon Sweetheart.
Former DGR yearling purchase So You Think continues to go from strength to strength and is the sire of 11 individual Group 1 winners.
Recent top tier winners include multiple Group 1 winner and $20 million The Everest hero Think About It, plus G1 Tattersall’s Tiara winner Palaisipan.
Much like his sire, this colt is a striking individual purchased at immense value very early in the sale and presented as an athletic type with all the attributes Duncan looks for in the progeny of the highly esteemed So You Think.
Get it quick, limited ownership opportunities are available to race him with DGR and top Eagle Farm-based trainer Chris Anderson. Get in touch with Duncan for more information.
An outstanding filly by leading New Zealand sire Per Incanto from Winter Sky (IRE), an Invincible Spirit half-sister to Transfers, the dam of Group 1 winner Tom Kitten and stakes winners Va Via and Promotions. This filly was bred and raised at one of New Zealand’s very best nurseries, Little Avondale, a stud famed for producing 41 individual Group 1 winners.
By leading 2yo sire Extreme Choice from the multiple Group winner Istanford (USA), this filly was raised at the top Golden Slipper-producing nursery of Newgate Farm and will get every opportunity of success under the guidance of Anthony Cummings, the trainer of her sire’s best daughter and DGR’s up-and-coming 2yo Group placegetter Extreme Diva.
With loads of natural muscle, strength and a top pedigree on her side, this filly was a compelling buy for DGR’s Duncan Ramage. By the Group-winning Invincible Spirit stallion Ancient Spirit, she is from an impeccably related mare from one of New Zealand’s most distinguished nurseries.
A beautifully bred filly by exciting freshman So You Think stallion Peltzer. Her Not a Single Doubt dam was unbeaten as a juvenile and is already doing an excellent job at stud, producing a stakes-winning 2yo in Lord Cosmos.
Duncan's Comments
“They say the early bird catches the worm, and that certainly appeared to be our advantage on Day 1 of Inglis Classic, purchasing Lot 3 for, dare I say, just $120,000. A son of So You Think who is no less an individual and prospect than the three So You Think’s we purchased at Magic Millions in January, which are all fully subscribed. Our regular trainer, Chris Anderson, was in the lucky seat beside our team as we purchased this colt and was able to secure him for his stable ahead of similar approaches from leading trainers.”
