He was described by Cummings as "perfection on four legs. You don’t get any better than him. He is the finest, most genuine horse I have ever traine".
So You Think continued his racing career in the northern hemisphere for Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien, for whom he won a further five group 1 races before retiring to stud at Coolmore.
He proved a prolific producer, siring 66 stakes winners and 12 group 1 winners to date. — LOVERACING.NZ News Desk
