Mark Kavanagh, Street Cry (IRE) and Laurence Eales is a winning recipe that has produced Melbourne Cup winner Shocking and dual Group One winner Whobegotyou, plus a new winner who caught the eye at Geelong on Friday.
Three year-old gelding Too Deadly improved off an unlucky first up fifth to Breitling last month, opening his account at his second start to win the 1100 metre maiden by more than a length as a red hot favourite.
Too Deadly was purchased by Eales Racing for just $32,000 from the Lauriston Farm draft at the 2009 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale and is the first foal of Success Express (USA) mare Roxy Express from the family of Group Two winner Flushed.
Established star Whobegotyou is set to resume from a break this weekend in the Group Two MRC Memsie Stakes at Caulfield, while another up and coming three year-old Street Cry (IRE) (pictured) from the same team in Liveandletdie is also an acceptor at the same meeting.
Liveandletdie has had two starts for a debut win and a second to boom colt Columbus with the Group Three MRC HDF McNeil Stakes over 1200 metres selected as his starting point for spring, a race in which Whobegotyou finished second in two years ago before going on to win the Group One MRC Caulfield Guineas.
Footnote: MAKYBE stands Street Hero – Gr 1 winning son of Street Cry. Laurence Eales bred his growing broodmare band to Street Hero in his first season last year and is supporting Street Hero again this year.
