Master trainer Bart Cummings says the sale of dual Cox Plate winner So You Think to Irish interests as “a sad day for Australian racing”.

Irish racing and breeding giant Coolmore bought a controlling stake in the stallion in a deal that would reportedly value So You Think at around $60 million.

Cummings said he was unaware negotiations were taking place between Coolmore and representatives of So You Think’s owner, Dato Tan Chin Nam.

"I'm very disappointed. I was kept in the dark about this," Cummings told the Herald-Sun. "Normally I'd be part of these negotiations.

“He is still improving, the best is ahead of this horse."

So You Think will race on in Europe next season as part of the Aidan O’Brien stable. The son of High Chaparral had 12 starts for Cummings for eight wins, earning more than $5.7 million in stak
