Timing Can Prove a Fortune at Easter

For vendors who were lucky enough to have yearlings by Capitalist (Written Tycoon) when the former Golden Slipper and Magic Millions 2YO Classic hero was represented by Profiteer (ex Athena Lass, by Snitzel) in a dazzling $2 million Inglis Millennium success, it turned what was already strong demand for his precocious stock into a fear of missing out (FOMO). Yearlings that might have commanded X dollars, were suddenly bringing double that amount or more. Among other good examples heading into today's start of the 2021 Inglis Easter Sale is Coolmore stalwart So You Think (High Chaparral-Triassic, by Tights). Althopugh, in his case, he well and truly earned his stripes as a stallion some time ago, the latest run of feature race success for the progeny by the dual Gr1 Cox Plate and multiple European Group 1 winner has been hard to miss. It will ensure that his Easter crop at Riverside will draw even greater attention than they normally might have. His current season black-type performers, headed by Group 1 George Ryder Stakes hero Think It Over, include So Si Bon, Poland, Peltzer, Good Idea, Nimalee, Midnight Blue, Miss Siska, Just Thinkin', Realm of Flowers, Pure Devotion, Dirty Thoughts, Knights Order, Carif, Mr Marathon Man, Splendoronthegrass and So Let's Toast. So You Think's Easter collective comprises a dozen colts and three fillies which can be Australian+Easter+Yearling+Sale/search?pedigree_search=1&sale_id=30000088&sire%5B%5D=So+You+Think+%28NZ%29&vendor%5B%5D=&vendor_images%5B%5D=&sex%5B%5D=&colour%5B%5D=&s_ss_sss_sds%5B%5D=&d_dd_ddd%5B%5D=&sgs_ss%5B%5D=&sgs_ds%5B%5D=&s_s%5B%5D=&s_ds%5B%5D=&ds%5B%5D=&dds%5B%5D=&ss%5B%5D=&sss%5B%5D=&brp%5Bdclass%5D%5B%5D=&brp%5Bdpclass%5D%5B%5D=" target="_blank">viewed here.
