Gilgai Bred Oh Too Good Wins G3 Jewellers Vase

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 11

Gilgai Farm have bred plenty of champions and they include the 2012 Caulfield Guineas winner All Too Hard, who is the sire of Oh Too Good, a popular winner of the $240,000 Group III MRC Jewellers Vase (1600m) at Caulfield on Saturday.

Trained by Kevin Daffy and ridden by Damian Lane, Oh Too Good has been a late bloomer as a lightly raced six year-old and produced a career best performance to win.

A good second in the Group II VRC Let’s Elope Stakes two starts back to Lazzura showed Oh Too Good was well up to Group racing and she confirmed that potential when forging clear to win by a length and a quarter.

Oh Too Good is the only horse trained by Kevin Daffy and has the great record of six wins and six placings from15 starts with prizemoney closing in on $800,000.

Bought privately out of the paddock from Gilgai Farm as a yearling, she has become a member of the Daffy family and has a home for life.

Patience was required as Oh Too Good was not to be rushed and did not make her debut until February last year winning a maiden at Pakenham and since then it’s been steadily onwards and upwards.

Oh Too Good is the first foal and first winner for Good Oh, a winning Duporth daughter of stakes-winner Zelsnitz from the family of Group I winners Sherwood Forest and Holy Roman Emperor tracing back through her tail female line to blue hen Fanfreluche.

Good Oh has foaled this spring producing a filly by All Too Had that is a full sister to Oh Too Good.

Oh Too Good is the 31st stakes-winner for All Too Hard, who stands at Vinery Stud at a fee of $27,500.
