This figure gave So You Think (High Chaparral x Triassic, by Tights) a world ranking of 17th equal, just 13 points off unbeaten Cartier Horse of the Year, Sea the Stars (Cape Cross).
In seventeenth, So You Think was joined by English and Australian Group 1 winning sprinter Scenic Blast (Scenic), both of whom were rated above the only other Australasian in the rankings, thirty-seventh placed Whobegotyou (Street Cry).
Just a spring three-year-old, $110,000 Karaka Premier graduate So You Think has the world at his feet in terms of the international racing stage which could lead him to the heady heights of fellow kiwi global flag-bearers Sunline (Desert Sun), Vengeance of Rain (Zabeel) and Starcraft (Soviet Star).
Windsor Park Stud will present an Elusive City�half-brother (Lot 221)�to So You Think at the 2010 National Yearling Sales Series which is set to take place from 1 - 8 February.
