About
Too Darn Discreet is a 5yo brown mare from Australia, trained by Dan O'Sullivan. She is by Too Darn Hot out of Maybe Discreet. After a Group Two victory and $875,975 in earnings, she is considered a high-class performer. On 5 Oct 2024 at Flemington, Mark Zahra rode her to her biggest triumph, winning the $300,000 3yo Fillies Open Set Weight against Declichy Boulevard. Punters have found her lucrative; a career-long backing would have yielded a 229% ROI.
