Description

Well bred, 2 x winning son of Champion. So You Think out of Group 1 winner Champagne. Think Champayne was a mid-December foal so has taken more time to mature than most. He has now had the 11 starts for 2 wins and 1 placing and has been competitive at Victorian provincial / country BM64 level at 2000m+ so would suit a small provincial stable at a slightly lower grade than the competitive Victorian jurisdiction.

Think Champayne won his 2nd race only two starts ago in BM58 grade over 2400m at Swan Hill on 16/04 and was sound at Pakenham last start in a Bm70 over 2000m on 12/05. He is currently spelling due to injury that requires a 3 month spell.

VET NOTE: Think Champayne was been found to be 1/5 lame in training while preparing for his next start. He was found to have a short lytic line in the lateral condyle in his left hind fetlock that appears more like a benign fissure. He requires a good spell of 3 months and his prognosis is currently sound with the right management. It is recommended he is re-scanned before returning to work. We encourage all buyers to please contact the stable for further information while independent vet inspections are welcome and encouraged. Vet report available on request.

Think Champayne is a very honest horse with a great temperament. He is being sold to dissolve the ownership group with a majority vote to move him on having reached his grade here in Victoria. With the right management he can continue racing and has shown the ability to feature over the staying distances at the provincial level with more time and patience
