Bred in New Zealand by M. J. Morgan and Piper Farm Limited, 5-year-old horse So You Think, the European invader has been pre entered in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on 5 November, 2011.
In his most recent start, So You Think finished second behind Cirrus Des Aigles in the Grade 1 Champions Stakes at Ascot under R Moore on 15 October, 2011, on turf over at 1 ¼ miles.
Aidan O’Brien’s wife Annemarie O’Brien, stated on her Twitter account that So You Think was one of 12 Ballydoyle runners pre-entered in Breeders' Cup races.
The son of High Chaparral, out of Triassic by Tights, So You Think has an impressive resume, and is responsible for one of the most impressive runs in the shortest spans of time, when he ran 3 grade 1 races in 13 days.
In 2010, So You Think ran 2, 1 ¼ mile races and then participated in the 2 mile long race where he finished first in the first two and third in the marathon long 2 mile long race.
