This time last year So You Think had just embarked on a campaign that would lead him to his second Cox Plate and this year the son of High Chaparral is in Ireland where he has been installed an odds on 1-3 favourite to win the Group I Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes this Saturday, reports Tara Madgwick in www.breednet.com.au.
Her report adds: Now trained by Aidan O'Brien,So You Think has been odds-on for all of his starts since being purchased by Coolmore and transferring from Australia and will face a maximum of five rivals at Leopardstown after acceptances for the 1m and 2f feature event. Classy mare Snow Fairy is next in the betting at 5-1, with the market 10-1 bar those two.
Fellow Ballydoyle entries are Abu Dhabi Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor and Recital, who has not run since finishing sixth behind Pour Moi in the Investec Derby. They are 16/1 joint-fourth favourites for the Champion Stakes, which was won by O'Brien's second string Cape Blanco last year. The Dermot Weld-trained Famous Name and Dunboyne Express, trained by Kevin Prendergast, complete the final six.
