Description

Dark Thinker is. a lightly raced 4YO mare by So You Think. Her record reads 11-1:1:3 and was most recently seen racing on the 16/3 where she disappointed when second favourite and has since been sent to the paddock. No obvious issues explained her poor run but she is being sold to dissolve the current syndicate who bought her as a yearling.

She was trained out of Eagle Farm but would suit a weaker racing jurisdiction.

Any questions please get in touch. Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we recommend that all purchasers undertake independent veterinary inspections.
