A winner of over $66,000 in prizemoney, Way Too Good is the second winner for
Group III placed Encosta de Lago mare Above Perfection, a daughter of
stakes-winner Actress from the family of Gooree Stud bred and raced Group I
winning flagbearers Desert War, Laser Hawk and Romantic Touch.Above Perfection has a yearling colt by the Gooree Stud bred young stallion Your Song and has foaled this spring producing a filly by another Gooree Stud bred sire in Smart Missile.
Way Too Good's sire Strategic Maneuvre was also bred and raced by Gooree, but with no Black Type on his race record, the son of Royal Academy (USA) has started his stud career in more humble surrounds in Victoria.
Standing at Bullarook Park Stud in the care of Malcolm Boyd at a fee of $4,400, Strategic Maneuver has been well supported covering 367 mares in his first four seasons.
Way Too Good is the fourth winner for Strategic Maneuver from just 10 starters, with four of those other starters being placed.
Given his burgeoning success, Strategic Maneuver has had a fee increase this year to $6,600 and he is again proving popular.
