Wednesday Double for All Too Hard

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Feb 8
Hardly a day passes we don't see a winner sired by either All Too Hard or Pierro, these two champion colts on the racetrack now making their mark in a highly positive way at stud.

It was All Too Hard's turn on Wednesday with Over and Above (3g All Too Hard x Olonana) breaking his maiden in the opening event at Sandown and Swaffham Bullbeck (3g All Too Hard x Pink Siris) doing the same at Randwick.

Lot 583 is a half-sister to Swaffham BulbeckPrepared by Team Hawkes, Swaffham Bulbeck was having his first run back from a spell and scored over 1400 metres by half a length at his third start.

A $250,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Aquis Farm draft for Hawkes Racing, he provided a timely update for his yearling half-sister by Wandjina that will be offered at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale as Lot 583.

The filly is the fifth foal of stakes-placed Encosta de Lago mare Pink Siris, who is best known as the dam of former slick sprinter Echo Gal, a Group III placed winner of nearly $350,000.

Vinery Stud's All Too Hard moved to 33 winners for the season, just two in arrears of his arch rival Pierro and has 17 entries for Inglis Classic.
