Her trainer Danny O’Brien believes he has the Gr1 VRC Oaks in his sights with SO YOU THINK filly Getta Good Feeling who became her sire’s 66th Stakes Winner on Saturday after she broke her maiden in the best way possible with a last stride win in the Group 2 VRC Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington.
GETTA GOOD FEELING
Placed at her first three starts, Getta Good Feeling had to make a massive jump in class from a runner-up in a Sale maiden last time out, but she handled the class rise in the manner of a filly going places fast.
Ridden by Billy Egan, she got held-up in traffic and her hopes looked forlorn, but when she saw daylight Getta Good Feeling let down with a powerful turn of foot to snatch a win over race favourite Just a Journey.
"She's our filly for the Oaks this season, so we always planned to get her here for the Wakeful and the Oaks,” said Danny O’Brien, after he scratched her from an easier race midweek to come to Flemington.
"When we drew well here, we thought she'd be very competitive and also to give her a look at Flemington before Cup Week. It was hard (to make the decision).
"She was going to be a good thing beaten. Unfortunately, she was in a bit of traffic when the race got moving and Billy had to wait and wait and wait. When things got moving, she hit the line and we've seen a little glimpse of what she'll be able to do when she gets to a Wakeful and an Oaks.”
Next stop will be Caulfield with the team undecided whether to go to the Gr1 MRC Thousand Guineas (1600m) or the Gr3 MRC Ethereal Stakes (2000m).
"She'll run at Caulfield. The Thousand Guineas and the Ethereal are on the same day but I'll have a chat to Jonathon (Munz). She's nommed for the Thousand Guineas and we'll decided which one she runs in closer to the date."
Getta Good Feeling was a $525,000 Inglis Easter purchase and runs for Jonathan Munz’s Pinecliff Racing.
Getta Good Feeling is a three-quarter sister to Gr3 winner Elliptical and is the best of four winners from four foals to race from Marquise da Rossa, a winning Testa Rossa mare from the family of Golden Slipper winner Marauding.
Marquise da Rossa was bought by Yulong for $675,000 at the 2023 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale and has a yearling filly by Alabama Express and slipped last spring to Pierata.
Getta Good Feeling became the 66th Stakes Winner for So You Think, who stands at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $44,000.
Without doubt, So You Think is the most underrated sire in Australia based on his continuing ability to produced stakes winners and he’s standing at a modest fee in 2025.
Getta Good Feeling with this Gr2 victory joins Gr3 Winners Revelare and Oh Diamond Lil as stakes winners already this new 2025-26 Racing Season whilst Tulleries has been both Gr2 and Gr3 placed.
SO YOU THINK is Australia’s Leading Sire by Winners and Wins for the new season having sired 50 Winners of 57 Races from 168 runners. He leads Zoustar (45/195) Written Tycoon 43/157) and I Am Invincible (41/156).
