Listed Seymour Cup, $200,000, 1600m
Race Summary
All Too Huiying (All Too Hard) has fought back to claim his second career stakes win in the Listed bet365 Seymour Cup at Kilmore.
Having his first start of the campaign, All Too Huiying was headed by the heavily favoured Gold Fields (Churchill Downs) at the top of the straight, but under a determined ride from Michael Poy, the Phillip Stokes-trained 6-year-old kicked back and prevailed by a narrow margin in a photo finish.
Both horses had sat on or close to the pace throughout, which was set at a moderate pace, suiting those near the front of the field. The Grahame Begg-trained Romancer (NZ) (Redwood {GB}) finished on well for third, but never threatened the front two horses.
All Too Huiying, who won the Listed VRC Seppelt Wines S. in 2017, has won nine of his 39 starts and takes his prizemoney to over $600,000 with his win.
