He was always going to get back, and in the 1100 metre race at Seymour, he was likely to run in to trouble. He was also racing against older horses. Regardless, he was sent out favourite.
He did get back, he did find trouble, but he was just too classy for them, too deadly, too good. Crowded, toward the rear of the field, the Mark Kavanagh trained Too Deadly bullocked his way out of trouble with a touch of arrogance. Jockey Stephen King was sitting up on him well before the line and he won effortlessly with petrol to spare.
Too Deadly is by Street Cry from Success Express mare Roxy
Express. Too Deadly, now a three year old gelding, was bred at Lauriston Thoroughbred Farm. He was sold by Lauriston during Session 2 of Inglis’s 2009 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale to Eales Racing for $32,500. Too Deadly races in the colours made famous by Whobegotyou and Shocking.
