So You Think thrills Heffernan Seamie Heffernan has hailed Saturday's victory on board So You Think in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown as one of his biggest thrills in racing. Heffernan had already ridden the Aidan O'Brien-trained superstar to victory in the Mooresbridge Stakes but was replaced by Ryan Moore in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and when the five-year-old suffered a shock defeat in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. In his native Australia, So You Think has a huge army of followers and there was disbelief in his homeland when was beaten at Royal Ascot. But he restored his reputation in beating the Derby and Arc winner Workforce by half a length. "It was one of the biggest thrills I've got out of racing," said Heffernan. "There was a massive crowd there, it was a lovely sunny day and it came together. "I wasn't really sure what exactly would happen so myself and Aidan had discussed different options, but as long as the horse settled, we were sure we'd get the result we wanted. "I was pretty confident going there. I have a lot of respect for Workforce but I had a big belief in So You Think. "As everyone knows he came from Australia with a huge reputation and it's nice to get him this side of the world to see if he could do it here and he has proven that he could. He's a very good horse. "I've really no idea where he'll be going next but I was just very pleased that yesterday I was on him. "It was a very important day for me and the horse, he has a lot of people in Australia following him too so it was great for racing all over the world," he told At The Races.
