Don’t oppose So You Think

AIDAN O’BRIEN’S So You Think cannot be opposed in the Group 1 Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown this evening, where one of the main questions to be answered is just how many winners will the Ballydoyle maestro manage?

First things first and the challenge facing the ex-Australian So You Think. Truth to tell, it looks a relatively soft touch for the imposing son of High Chaparral and anything less than a comfortable success will be surprising.

A cracking horse in his native country, he has made a big impression since arriving in Europe. His latest performance was his best, responding well to Seamus Heffernan’s driving to master Workforce in theCoral-Eclipse at Sandown in early July.
