Oh Too Good secures first metro win for trainer Kevin Daffy at Flemington

Kevin Daffy, 'Australia's smallest trainer with one horse', is now also a Flemington winner.
Oh Too Good avenged a costly Flemington defeat last spring, touched off in the lucrative Melbourne Cup Carnival Country Final, with a dominant victory on Saturday in the 1600m Benchmark 100.
Oh Too Good could now return to Flemington next month for the Listed Winter Championship Final.
'It's indescribable. My first metro winner and to do it here at Flemington,' an emotional Daffy said.
'I wasn't really sure how she would go on the soft track. We all found out together today on a soft track – very pleasing it was a bit unknown – she's never run on a track other than a Good 4.

'Not in my wildest dream (train a Flemington winner), winning her first race … (Pakenham maiden) was enough for me.
'Everything she has done since has been a bonus. I know how fortunate I am, as I know how tough this game is. I'm the smallest trainer in Australia with one horse. It's indescribable.'
Oh Too Good has won five of 11 starts and banked $569,450 for part-owner Daffy and connections.
The mare travelled sweetly in the run and burst clear in the straight to space Jimmy The Bear and Regal Vow.
Favourite Jimmy The Bear, trained by Patrick and Michelle Payne, went back from a wide barrier and ultimately had too much ground to make up.
Jockey Ben Allen, who sealed a double with the win after victory earlier on Miss Ole, endorsed Oh Too Good's Winter Championship Final potential.
'I was a little concerned coming up in trip because she didn't run out a strong 1400m (last start) but she had a few little issues that weren't right,' Allen said.
'Kev has done a great job, got her spot on. She was a different horse today, relaxed a lot better for me, handled the track perfect and when I went for her she was strong right to the line.
'Jimmy The Bear obviously looked like the one to beat, but he drew awkward and he can step slow so I thought he might have to go back, I always felt we might be in the better spot.
'It was going to take a good horse to pick us up especially with how strong she was.'
