“Always a good sign” especially when you can own him

May 6, 2022

So You Think was a racehorse that blew minds when winning the Cox Plate, twice!

So You Think is now doing the same setting the pace as Australia’s current leading sire with progeny earnings for this season topping $16.4m. As Breednet were so quick to suggest – when a 2yo by So You Think wins on debut, alarm bells are ringing.

Lethal Thoughts owners are in a really exciting position

Lethal thoughts now steps up to a more favorable 1400mtr journey at Flemington on Saturday May 21st. Given what So You Think progeny are doing on race tracks around Australia you would think for his owners this is the preview to what is shaping as a very exciting movie. 

A unique opportunity within The Racing League

The Racing League offers a maximum of 10000 ownership units @$260 each across all three teams in the league, The Qld Rogues, The NSW Tycoons and The Vic Husslers. Each team owns 7 horses, where owners are paid quarterly their share of prize money earned. 

Lethal Thoughts (Maher/Eustace) is one of the stars in The Husslers amongst Eureka Storm (Price/Kent), Team Captain (Matt Cumani), Edge of Dreams (Busuttin/Young), The Big Freeze (Peter Moody) and Bellinger (Lindsay Park).

Whilst the majority of these ownership units have now been secured, there is an opportunity to still buy into The Vic Husslers and in doing so, for only $260 and $20 per month, own your share of some truly exciting race horses, such as Lethal Thoughts. CLICK TO JOIN THE VIC HUSSLERS

BOUNCE BACK FACTOR 

As Tycoons were made aware of, there’s a theory in racing that when a horse suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, “you must back it next start” and they win. 

And that was certainly the message after Cool Jakey suffered cardiac arrhythmia the previous start at Randwick, with Joe Pride telling Tycoons in the pre-race late mail, “Don’t worry about what happened last start, the horse is fine and he looks great,” how right Joe was with Cool Jakey leading all the way.

HIPPO FROM BARRIER TO BOX

Adam Hyeronimus was having his first sit on Cool Jakey and he rode him a treat. We joked before the race “just go to the front and improve your position” and that’s exactly what he did. 

“He jumped well and found a nice rhythm straight away, he had a nice time so I let him slide early into it at the 600metres so we did go a bit early. 

“He felt fantastic throughout the run and was doing it easily, so I did get a bit of a surprise how quickly he stopped. 

“So maybe I did go too early, but in saying that, maybe seven furlongs is his upper limit. On that effort he’ll be winning again” Jockey Adam Hyeronimus said.

JOE DELIGHTED

“That was good guys” trainer Joe Pride said, with a big smile to a large contingent of NSW Tycoons on Cool Jakey returning to scale. 

“Look it was nice to see him win on a track that wasn’t bottomless wet, it opens up a lot more opportunities for him. 

“In saying that if there was a 1400m for him in a fortnight on a Good track I would probably be reluctant to start him. We need to nurse him through it and the next month – six weeks isn’t going to be easy because it’s carnival time.

WHATS NEXT – PACK YOUR BAGS

The Tycoons have been very patient with Cool Jakey and their patience has been rewarded. He is building a very nice career record which stands at only 13 starts for 5 wins and a minor placing and is now pushing the $200,000 in prize money. 

‘Jakey’ has initially pulled up well, but we all know that he is a delicate soul and has to be treated with kindness and Joe is reluctant to push him too hard too quickly. Which is fair enough. 

“We might even consider travelling him maybe to Melbourne or Brisbane for a wet track, we just need to look after him.

“He’s been a good horse for us, we will look after him and his best opportunities will come in the Winter,” Joe concluded. 

Congratulations to all NSW Tycoons and winning connections.

Go you good thing!
