About

It Is To Be is a 6yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Pat Murphy of Goulburn. He is by Smart Missile out of Leica Honey. He has earned three wins so far, with his most notable victory on 3 Jan 2025 at Wagga, taking the $30,000 Maiden Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 14% return on investment.
