Quick Thinker (So You Think) winning the Gr.2 Tulloch Stakes at Rosehill

So You Think's Quick Thinker Wins G2 Tulloch

Quality colt Quick Thinker (3c So You Think x Acouplamas, by Al Maher) staked his claim for the Group I ATC Australian Derby next Saturday when scoring a stylish victory in the Group II ATC Tulloch Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill on Saturday.

Trained by Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, Quick Thinker was a Group III winner in Sydney back in the spring and was fifth to Shadow Hero and Castlelvecchio in the Group I ATC Spring Champion Stakes before spelling.

Third to glamour fillies Funstar and Probabeel in the Group II ATC Phar Lap Stakes over 1500 metres two weeks ago, he relished the step out 2000 metres and was strong to the line in winning by a length and a quarter under James McDonald.

“The track is riding heavy and he’s a proven wet tracker that can get through it,” said McDonald.

Quick Thinker has the tidy record of three wins and four placings from 10 starts with prizemoney in excess of $290,000.

Quick Thinker was a $100,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Coolmore draft for De Burgh Equine and was bred by Bowcock Bloodstock.

Coolmore have a stunning draft for Inglis Easter next week and you can see them here.

He is a half-brother to Group III placed The August from stakes-placed Al Maher mare Acouplamas, who comes from the family of Group I classic winners Blackfriars and Larrocha.

Quick Thinker is one of eight stakes-winners this season for So You Think, who is having an outstanding run of success.
