What a win by So You Think at The Curragh on Tuesday morning! The superstar strolled home. No wonder the UK racing press is in raptures. Trainer Aidan O'Brien is certainly confident of a big campaign with the Australian champ. SYT scored by 10 lens in the Mooresbridge Stks, treating his rivals with contempt. Brought back to 10 furlongs (2000m), the giant 5YO was sent off the 2/13 fav and settled nicely in third for Seamie Heffernan as stablemate Windsor Palace put the pace to the race. His backers never had a moment of worry - So You Think cruised down the straight and drew 10 lengths clear without being hard ridden. He's now set for a mouthwatering clash with Derby and Arc winner Workforce in the Tattersalls Gold Cup on May 22.
Aidan O'Brien just can't stop praising So You Think. He says: 'He's an incredible horse and we feel privileged to have him...He didn't do much between his racecourse gallop here last month and today and he only needs to do half-speeds at home. He was just ready to come racing....He came to Ireland with the most unbelievable reputation and is a real product of Australian breeding, training and racing. We heard all the things about how unbelievable he was and when you see him, you can believe it...We've had some good horses from Australia, Starspangledbanner and Haradasun, but when this fellow walked through the door, we've never experienced anything like it. He's unique.'
