First South African winner for All Too Hard

Tara Madgwick - Saturday Sep 23
Leading Australian second crop sire all Too Hard added a new string to his bow when siring his first South African winner at Greyville in South Africa on Friday with an easy victory for Roy's Riviera.

All Too Hard has hit the ground running this spring!Trained by Frank Robinson for prominent owner Roy Moodley, Roy's Riviera strode clear to win the fillies and mares maiden over 1600 metres by two and a quarter lengths at her third start following two previous placings.

Roy's Riviera was a $70,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Baramul Stud draft for World Wide Bloodstock and is a half-sister to stakes-winner Sebring Sally from the good producer Donna Amata.

Donna Amata has already foaled again this spring producing another filly for Baramul Stud by Sebring.

All Too Hard is riding high with 11 Australian winners this season and stands at Vinery Stud at a fee of $44,000.
