Racing's next champion?
New Zealand's Windsor Park Stud have successfully bred a full brother to Australian champion 'So You Think' late on Tuesday night.
Michael Moran, The mare's part-owner and marketing manager of Windsor Park, said the colt was very much like his famous brother.
"He's very similar to So You Think", Moran said.
"He's a lovely dark brown colour like So You Think and he has a white spot with a fine white stripe down the middle of his nose".
Costing just $110,000 as a yearling, So You Think raced in Australia 12 times for eight wins including two Cox Plates and winning prize money in excess of $5.6 million.
Irish racing giant Coolmore recently paid between $30-40 million for a half share in So You Think.
So You Think and his brother are both High Chaparral colts out of Triassic.
