Dual Cox Plate winner So You Think has died aged 19 at Coolmore Australia.
The 10-time Group 1 winner succumbed to a short illness while receiving care from the team at Scone Equine Hospital.
“When people visit Coolmore, more often than not the stallion most of them really want to see is So You Think. He was an absolute gentleman, an incredibly kind and intelligent horse and this is a sad day for all the staff that have looked after him so well at Coolmore since he retired in 2012,” said Coolmore principal Tom Magnier.
“We are so lucky to have had him and watch him develop into one of the country’s truly elite sires. He provided me with so many great memories on racetracks throughout the world as both a racehorse and a stallion. I will never forget the day he sired three Group 1 winners in a day at Randwick in 2022, but equally the day he provided Joseph O’Brien with his first Royal Ascot winner as a jockey in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes in 2012.”
After a remarkable global racing career, So You Think finished in the top 10 on the sires table for each of the last five seasons and came second to I Am Invincible on two occasions.
He is already responsible for 12 individual Group 1 winners.
