Ketika So You Think, Kuda Balap Terhebat Australia Mengakhiri Perlombaan Hidupnya

SARGA.CO

SARGA.CO - Australia kehilangan salah satu kuda pacu terhebatnya. Juara ganda WS Cox Plate, So You Think, meninggal dunia setelah menderita sakit dalam waktu singkat. Kabar duka ini dikonfirmasi oleh Coolmore Australia, tempat di mana sang kuda legendaris menghabiskan masa pensiunnya sebagai pejantan.

Dikutip dari laman abc.net.au, kuda jantan kelahiran 2006 itu mengembuskan napas terakhirnya saat dirawat di Scone Equine Hospital, kawasan Hunter, New South Wales.

Karier Balap yang Brilian

Dilatih oleh dua nama besar balap kuda dunia, Bart Cummings dan Aidan O’Brien, So You Think menjadi ikon lintasan pacuan setelah menjuarai WS Cox Plate dua tahun berturut-turut pada 2009 dan 2010.

Di tahun pertama kemenangannya, joki Glen Boss berada di atas pelana. Setahun kemudian, Steven Arnold menggantikannya dan kembali mengantar So You Think ke podium tertinggi di Moonee Valley.

Tak hanya berjaya di tanah kelahirannya, So You Think juga mencetak sejarah di panggung internasional. Salah satu kemenangan paling terkenalnya adalah saat menjuarai Prince of Wales’s Stakes 2012 di Ascot, Inggris

So You Think

Dari Juara ke Sire Kelas Dunia

Setelah pensiun dari dunia balap pada 2012, So You Think memulai babak baru sebagai pejantan di Coolmore. Ia tak kalah sukses, Coolmore mencatat bahwa So You Think telah menjadi ayah dari 12 pemenang Group 1 berbeda, menjadikannya salah satu sire elite di Australia.

“Ia adalah kuda yang sangat cerdas, penuh ketenangan, dan memiliki kepribadian yang luar biasa. Hari ini adalah hari yang menyedihkan bagi seluruh tim kami,” ungkap Tom Magnier dari Coolmore Australia dalam pernyataan di platform X.

“Kami sangat beruntung pernah memilikinya, baik sebagai kuda pacu maupun sebagai pejantan. Ia memberi kami begitu banyak kenangan tak terlupakan di lintasan balap di berbagai belahan dunia," imbuhnya.

Warisan Sang Legenda

So You Think adalah putra dari High Chaparral, dan semasa aktifnya ia dikenal sebagai kuda yang tangguh dan konsisten. Salah satu pencapaian terbaik lainnya adalah saat finis peringkat tiga di Melbourne Cup 2010, serta kemenangan Tattersalls Gold Cup di Irlandia selama dua tahun berturut-turut (2011 & 2012).
 

Mendiang Bart Cummings, sang pelatih legendaris dengan 12 gelar Melbourne Cup, pernah menyebut So You Think sebagai kesempurnaan dalam empat kaki. Kuda paling tulus yang pernah dilatihnya.

Sebagai bentuk penghormatan atas karier dan kontribusinya terhadap dunia balap kuda, So You Think diabadikan dalam Australian Racing Hall of Fame pada 2019.
