ADAM WATT from Dynamic Syndications caught up with
SHANE ROSE at Bimbadeen Park to get the latest
"Intel" and to see if the
"hype" was
living up to the fact.
Watch our latest short video clip of our colt under saddle and hear from Shane and Adam about our fantastic colt by Australia’s "HOTTEST" Leading Sire!
So You Think x Nowheretosomewhere Breaking from Dynamic Syndications on Vimeo.
The fact that our colt is from a mare that is a
daughter of a Champion Racehorse and Champion Broodmare Sire is an
added bonus as is the fact that
SO YOU THINK has already produced
a Stakes Winner from a Danehill Dancer mare proves that cream rises.
THOUGHT OF THAT (AUS) 2016 g, by So You Think - Hold Me Closer, by Danehill Dancer recorded 5 wins from 1600m to 2050m, A$484,360, to 2021-22, MRC Caulfield Classic,
Gr.3, MVRC MSC Signs H., MRC Evergreen Turf H., 2d MVRC PFD Food Services H., MRC Le Pine Funerals H., 3d MVRC Seppelt Wines H., 4th Ballarat Cup,
LR.
The Dam of our colt has a
quirky name –
NOWHERETOSOMEWHERE (Nowhere to Somewhere) so that just means that the owners of our spectacular lad will have some fun coming up with a racing name.
As our followers know,
this Colt was destined to be in Dynamic Colours when
Adam and trainer Mick Price worked together to secure the colt, they both wanted for half the price.
That is the
savings we pass onto the Dynamic Colt’s Ownership Team.
We now just have 6 x 5% shares remaining.
5% SHARES are $7,400 inc GST & ALL COSTS to 30/6/22 and FULL INSURANCE to 1/11/22
To find out more about this
ideal Colt that is to be
trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent (Jnr) simply give
ADAM WATT a call on 02 9540 1511 or 0409 464 378 and have a chat or drop us an email.
We have unearthed one Gem of a COLT.
He’s by super the super sire SO YOU THINK from the mare NOWHERETOSOMEWHERE (by Danehill Dancer).
He really captured our attention, and when
our vet Dr Tim Roberts gave us the report that the colt was
Low Risk on X-Ray and had a Grade 1 Scope, this
flawless colt was firmly in our sights.
SHANE ROSE riding our SO YOU THINK x NOWHERETOSOMEWHERE colt
OUR COLT - SO YOU THINK ex NOWHERETOSOMEWHERE
From a Broodmare who was placed at 1400m and is by the
sensational sire DANEHILL DANCER, a champion sire in his own right, that is the right way to start.
But wait ….. There’s more !
Our Colt is very closely related to these
Stakes Horses who are
both males by So You Think appearing in the
female pedigree:
POLAND (c So You Think (NZ)). 2 wins at 1400m, $186,300, in 2020-21, MRC Autumn S., Gr 2, VRC Rendr Trophy, 3d ATC Carbine Club S., Gr 3.
Kaching (g So You Think (NZ)). 4 wins 1400m to 1600m, $184,890, 2d MRC Blue Star Print H., 3d MVRC Bill Stutt S., Gr 2.
That’s great! But the best is yet to come!
Our Colt’s 2nd Dam (grand-mother) is SONGSTAR – who was placed at 1300m and 1400m, and she is a
daughter of
World Champion Sire - GALILEO.
SONGSTAR is a Half-Sister to the absolute champion racemare – SUNLINE (by Desert Sun).
She was crowned:
Australian Horse of the Year 3-times.
NZ Horse of the Year 4-times.
Champion NZ 3YO.
Champion NZ 4YO Miler &
Champion Australian 4YO+ on 3-occasions.
SUNLINE recorded 32 wins, 9 seconds, 3 thirds, and $11,351,607 with 13 Gr1 victories including the Cox Plate - twice, Doncaster H.,- twice, All-Aged S.,- twice, Coolmore Classic - twice, Waikato Draught Sprint - twice.
Whilst
2nd Dam SONGSTAR is also the half-sister to
SUNNY SONG – Dam of the
Stakes-Placed SUN SONG, and she has produced
4 Stakes Horses including Stakes Winners; POLAND (by SO YOU THINK) and
SUPREME PROFIT (by Encosta de Lago) and also
Stakes Placed; KACHING (by SO YOU THINK) and
ZOMBIE DANCER (by Encosta De Lago).
What we did know prior to commencing sale inspections, and what drove us to inspect the colt in the first instance was this Colt’s amazing Genetic Rating Scores of:
Enick A+++
Geonick A+++
Quality Rating Q7.
Genetically, this was the
“equal highest rating” in the whole
Inglis Classic catalogue, and we inspected all the others with this same rating score and to our eye
this Colt was clearly the standout on conformation, size and scope.
BELOW - See the Colt paraded by the Vendor
Inglis Classic Lot 118 - So You Think x Nowheretosomewhere colt from Dynamic Syndications on Vimeo.
For our followers who are unaware of how we secured the colt,
Adam Watt from Dynamic having done all our due diligence work, was watching the colt parade just before he was set to enter the salering when
leading Victorian trainer and importantly, Dynamic Syndications Team Member - Mick Price tapped Adam on the shoulder and asked,
“are you looking at the same colt as me?”
When Adam confirmed that we were keen on
Lot 118, Mick and Adam quickly compared notes and ceiling price values. Mick had a slightly larger budget than us, so Mick suggested we join forces as opposed to bidding against one another. Adam confirmed that was the right tactic and that Dynamic would bid to our limit and buy the colt for Mick Price to train if we could, but if it went beyond our ceiling price, then we would drop out and Mick would take over the bidding.
In one of those rare moments in a salering, the colt we had both desired, Lot 118, offered by PARSONS CREEK, fell through the cracks, and was knocked down to Dynamic Syndications to our bid of just $70,000.
Inglis Classic - Lot 118 - So You Think x Nowheretosomewhere colt (Auction Video) from Dynamic Syndications on Vimeo.
Both Adam and Mick were delighted with the purchase price. The fact is, $70,000 was then the stallions Service Fee and is just two-times his 2019 conception Service Fee of $35,000.
Now in 2022 he will stand at
$93,500 Service Fee - and here we have the
proven individual for
significantly less than what it now costs to
breed a mare to the sire!
We had
valued the colt at
3.5 to 4 times Conception Service Fee, whilst
Mick Price had valued the colt even higher.
Mick was determined to have this colt in his stable, and we were determined to have the colt under our ownership team, so it is a
true win-win situation.
This was an awesome result that we now can pass onto our loyal Dynamic Owners to race this Colt with MICK PRICE & MICK KENT (Jnr).
Lot 118 - Mick Price and Adam Watt.mp4 from Dynamic Syndications on Vimeo.
Being bred the way this colt has been, he is not one to aim at the speedy squib early 2yo races.
This is a colt for the Classic Races such as the majors: Australian Guineas, Caulfield Guineas, Randwick Guineas, Rosehill Guineas and potentially even a crack at the Derbies as a 3yo and then at races like the Epsom and the Doncaster as an older horse.
This cross is highly successful hence its outstanding genetic rating scores.
