Newcomer DEADLINE DAY created a huge upset in his debut when he accounted for three well-backed runners, including the favourite O'REILLY STAR (who finished third), in the Restricted Maiden - 1200m event here today.

Bought for just NZ$5,000 as a yearling, the gelding landed last October and was sold to new owners just last month.

His two trials so far has been fair and punters sent him out at $269 for his debut.

Ridden by Oliver Placais, DEADLINE DAY came from just off the pace to run down SUPER TYCOON to win by three-quarter length.

DEADLINE DAY is a half-brother to former top juvenile ONCEUPONATIME.

"He’s well bred but I didn’t think he would have won over 1200m first-up. He needs at least 1400m to a mile and I thought he needed a little bit more experience," said trainer James Peters.
