Classy young stayer Thinkin’ Big has been sold to Hong Kong.

Dodmark Thoroughbreds, who bred and raced the High Chaparral colt with the Gai Waterhouse/Tony Bott stable, have accepted an offer from clients of the Frankie Lor stable.

Lor, a former Hong Kong jockey, is a rising star in the Hong Kong training ranks. He is in just his second season as a trainer after serving more than 20 years as an assistant to John Moore and John Size .

He has trained only 24 winners, including 15 this season, but his stable is currently this season’s prizemoney leader after landing a huge G1 double at Sha Tin on December 9 when Glorious Forever and Mr Stunning won the HK International Cup and HK International Sprint.

Aquis Farm's Tom Inglis brokered the sale of Thinkin’ Big on behalf of Dodmark Thoroughbreds.

Thinkin’ Big, who has raced only seven times for four wins, is spelling ahead of his transfer to Hong Kong.

He was turned out after finishing 12th as favourite in the G1 Victoria Derby at Flemington on November 3 after winning the G3 Gloaming Stakes at Rosehill and G3 Norman Robinson Stakes at Caulfield split by a third in the G1 Spring Champion Stakes at Randwick.
