In-form trainer Kelly Schweida is confident lightly-raced colt Why So Expensive is destined for better things, providing he can get inside the horse's head.

Why So Expensive continued Schweida's recent run of form when he scored a narrow but decisive win in the Blackwood's Plate (1030m) at Doomben on Wednesday.

Schweida was back in the winner's circle later in the afternoon when former Sydney mare Tafeer ran her rivals ragged for an all-the-way win in the Glenlogan Park Plate (1200m).

At his third career start, Why So Expensive ($2.70) responded to the urgings of champion rider Chris Munce to beat the unlucky Big Fella ($17) by a long head with hotshot The Reveller ($1.75) 1-1/4 lengths back third.

Schweida acknowledged the opposition won't be written into racing history but he said Why So Expensive was a horse with plenty to learn and a lot of upside.

"He's one of the strangest horses I've had," Schweida said.

"He's very timid, especially around other horses, and he is very head shy.

"Ever since I've had him he's been that way but he's getting better and he is much, much better than what he's doing now."

Munce echoed Schweida's sentiment and gave Why So Expensive a considerable wrap.

"He's still not all there yet but once he is he will make into a very nice horse," Munce said.

"Once the penny drops and he gets up to 1400 metres or a mile (1600m) is when we will see the best of him."

Schweida paid $40,000 for Why So Expensive at the Magic Millions sales and the Elusive Quality gelding is stoutly bred on the dam's side with his mother Pourquoi a multiple winner in Sydney.

"He's still learning and I have no doubt he will be a quality horse with time," Schweida said.

"His mother was a top mare and he's bred to appreciate longer trips."

Schweida is enjoying a rich vein of success of late and his double added to the two winners he trained at the Gold Coast on Saturday and Monday for his major client,Brisbane Racing Club Chairman Kevin Dixon.
