So You Think has run well in defeat on his two most recent starts

Reports in Australia suggest So You Think will run in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs next month.

Part-owner Dato Tan Chin Nam is keen for his talented six-year-old to try his hand across the Atlantic after successfully plying his trade in Australia and Europe.

The dual Cox Plate winner has been a star of the international scene in the northern hemisphere since Coolmore acquired a big stake in him this year.

With three Group One victories under his belt in 2011, he has also acquitted himself with credit in defeat in both the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Champion Stakes.

The Breeders' Cup Classic could now be next for the globe-trotter.

"He could have won three Cox Plates but we wanted to take on the world," Chin Nam told www.smh.com.au.

"He has showcased Australian racing to the world and showed that we can match them. It has taken two course records to beat him (in his last two starts).

"I hope he can go better in America."
