The Everest winner Think About It, who also won the G1 Kingsford-Smith Cup and G1 Stradbroke Handicap when sweeping all before him in 2023, has died at the age of seven due to complications arising from colic surgery.
The son of So You Think had been spending his retirement in the care of his regular rider, Sam Clipperton, having survived a pulmonary haemorrhage following his fall in the 2024 Sydney Stakes at Randwick.
“A high-energy horse, Think About It applied himself 110% to everything he did, without a great deal of self-preservation,” read a tribute posted to social media by owners Proven Thoroughbreds. “He tried his absolute guts out every time he raced and that is all any owner/fan/punter can ever ask for. Maybe he was supposed to 'Live fast, die young'.”
