Description
Quick Thinker ~ Group 1-winning stallion prospect by leading sire So You Think
Winner of the G1 ATC Derby at Randwick with a Timeform Rating of 115 defeating G1 winners Shadow Hero, Castelvecchio, Sherwood Forest, Warning etc.
Stakes winning 2YO over 1600m on just his second start, Quick Thinker was highly versatile winning from 1400m and upwards.
4-time Group winner as a 3YO & 4YO including the G3 Ming Dynasty over 1400m and G2 Tulloch Stakes over 2000m at Rosehill
Physically, he stands at 16 hands high. He has a very attractive, masculine head and alert eye. He has a deep girth with strong muscle definition and a big, loose action. He has always moved with purpose. He realised $180,000 as a weanling when bought by bloodstock agent and renowned judge, James Bester, prior to being sold as a yearling at the Easter Yearling Sale.
Since his retirement in November 2021, he has let down beautifully, as can be seen in the parade vision.
Quick Thinker is by Champion racehorse and leading sire, So You Think, and out of the stakes placed mare Acouplamas. He has an excellent pedigree and hails from a dominant sire line that has had impressive representation at stud over recent seasons.
Descendants of High Chaparral standing at stud have sired 18 individual G1 winners worldwide including Masked Crusader, Think It Over, Super Seth, Castelvecchio etc
Siblings include Seasons - a 4-time Group winner/placed up to 1200m, as well as The August - a Stakes placed 3YO over 1200m and Metro winning 2YO over 1100m. Yulong Code, now four-time winning 4YO sold for $1,075,000 as a yearling. This is the family of G1 winners Blackfriars and Larrocha.
Quick Thinker’s current ownership group wishes to continue to support the entire at stud, and welcomes discussion on the level of future involvement. For more information, please contact the team at Inglis or Terry Henderson +61 (0) 412 330 523.
