One to Watch – Scone

Tara Madgwick - Monday Jun 29

All Too Hard is having a very good season with his juveniles and posted an eighth 2YO winner at Scone on Monday and he carried the Vinery Stud colours.

A homebred for Vinery partner Steve McCann, Suasion was given to Brett and Georgie Cavanough to train and was making his debut off a second in a recent Scone barrier trial.

Well fancied in the 900m maiden, Suasion delivered for Mitchell Bell to power clear and win by a length and a half beating older rivals.

Suasion is the second foal and second winner from Gentle Persuasion and the other winner is a pretty handy Hong Kong trained three year-old in Embrace Aberdeen, who has chased home boom three year-old Mr Incredible at his past two starts.

Suasion is a full brother to Embrace Aberdeen so Hong Kong may be looking quite closely at this guy following his debut win.

Suasion is the eighth juvenile winner this season for All Too Hard and they include a couple of very smart stakes-winners in Music Time, who placed in the Golden Slipper after winning the Group III Canberra Black Opal and Hard Kick, who won the Listed VRC Talindert on debut and has not raced since.

All Too Hard is a stallion with high fertility that does a good job year in and year out with his fee at Vinery this year at $27,500 sure to make him a no brainer.
