So You Think x Estijaam gelding – full brother to Champagne Stakes star Do You Just

So You Think x Estijaam gelding – full brother to Champagne Stakes star Do You Just

So You Think needs no introduction – a 10-time Group 1 winner and dual Cox Plate hero who’s now a proven source of elite performers, including The Everest winner Think About It and ATC Australian Derby winner Quick Thinker.

On the dam side, this gelding is out of Exceed And Excel mare Estijmaam, bringing a genuine injection of speed and precocity. Exceed And Excel has been a breed-shaping influence, with his progeny earning over $270 million in prizemoney and producing more than 1,800 winners, including 215 stakes winners worldwide. It’s a cross that blends So You Think’s stamina and versatility with sharp, commercial speed.

Full brother already a 1600m stakes winner & Hong Kong horse.       Watch Full Brother Win Here!

This gelding is a full brother to Do You Just (So You Think x Estijmaam), the exciting 2YO who blew away the Listed Skycity Champagne Stakes over 1600m at Ellerslie, New Zealand’s longest two-year-old race. He led throughout and put a big space on his rivals in a dominant stakes win.

Following that performance, Do You Just was sold to Hong Kong in a lucrative private deal and exported in August 2025. He is now in the powerful Tony Cruz yard, rated 71 and officially registered with the Hong Kong Jockey Club – a serious tick of approval for the family’s commercial appeal in one of the world’s toughest racing jurisdictions. He has since completed the rigorous Hong Kong vetting process and barrier requirements, so the family is very current and very much on the radar of Hong Kong buyers.

Crucially, our gelding moves just like his big brother – the same low, fluent action, economical stride and professional way of going that you see in the Champagne Stakes replay.

The horse we’re offering

This So You Think x Estijmaam gelding has really impressed us with:

• A sharp 10.89s official breeze at the Inglis Sydney Ready2Race Sale – fluent, balanced and without being asked for everything.

• A clean set of X-rays with no clinical or significant findings, plus a Grade 2A scope.

• A no-fuss, sensible temperament that screams “trainable” – exactly what you want in a horse with Hong Kong and metro appeal.

From a profile point of view, he shapes as a genuine 1400m–mile horse who will continue to improve with time, very much in the mould of his full brother.

Deep, current family

Estijmaam herself is an Exceed And Excel mare from the tough, stakes-performed Sean Baile Mor family, and she’s building a very current record at stud. 

So you’ve got a young Exceed And Excel mare whose early foals are already winning, including a standout 1600m stakes winner who’s been on-sold to Hong Kong – and this gelding is her full brother, with an action and attitude to match.

Why he stacks up as value

• Proven cross at the very top end – the exact So You Think x Estijmaam mating has already thrown a dominant 1600m stakes winner and Hong Kong horse.

• Race-day style, not just times – his 10.89s breeze was professional and relaxed, mirroring his brother’s long, rolling action rather than a revved-up, 400m dash.

• Clean vet profile – strong clinicals, clean X-rays and a good scope give him every chance to stand up to a proper racing preparation.

• Pedigree that trains on – a classic 1400m–mile profile with the scope to furnish into a serious 3YO.

• Current, commercial family – multiple winners under the dam and a full brother already flying the flag in Hong Kong keep the page “hot” from a trading and resale perspective.

We genuinely believe this gelding can gallop. If you’re looking for a So You Think with upside on the track and in the trade market, this is a rare opportunity to get involved in a full brother to a 1600m stakes winner already good enough to be snapped up by Hong Kong connections.
