Untapped Group 1 winning sprinter Think About It has secured a slot in the 2023 Everest. The Proven Thoroughbreds owned, and Joe Pride trained star sprinter will race in the newly acquired Newgate slot.
“We’re thrilled to be competing on the big Everest stage again, and with such an exciting prospect after PRIVATE EYE went so close last year,” Proven Thoroughbreds’ Jamie Walter said.
“For a $70,000 yearling, THINK ABOUT IT is giving us all a tremendous ride and good karma being involved with Newgate’s Henry Field and Greg and Barb Ingham, both of we’ve known for many years.
“Newgate is a contemporary powerhouse in the racing industry and THINK ABOUT IT won’t be the last good horse we buy from their farm.” – Jamie Walter
Henry Field continues: “We are unbelievably thankful to have secured THINK ABOUT IT in our slot for the world’s greatest sprint race. He was a horse bred by the Kolivos family and born and raised on the hills of Newgate Farm so he is a very meaningful horse for us to have secured.”
“I’ve had a long relationship with Jamie Walter, who I have the utmost respect for, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have the Newgate and Proven Thoroughbreds brands aligned.”
The deal came to fruition after Newgate a security a majority stake in GPI’s Everest slot.
“Barb and I are so pleased that Newgate has taken over our Everest slot and we will stay partners with them going forward. We were so thrilled to be a part of this incredible concept from its inception. We look forward to being a part of the Everest going forward with Henry and the Newgate family,” said Greg Ingham.
THINK ABOUT IT will have his next start in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap on June 10 before a short break to prepare for the Everest on October 14.
