One to Watch – Sale

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Jul 9

All Too Hard is having a great season with his juveniles and had his ninth 2YO winner on Thursday at Sale with a stylish debut victory for a youngster plucked from the Inglis Ready 2Race Sale for $220,000.

Champion trainer Chris Waller sent out three runners in the juvenile maiden over 1200m and it was the longest priced of them that got the cash.

All Too Hard gelding Kosei Top was sent off at 11-1 with Thomas Stockdale to ride and after rounding the turn it looked as though he would be with the also rans.

He stuck to the inside and when a run opened up, Kosei Top surged through and went on to win by more than a length over his stablemate Zouvolt (Zoustar), who was also on debut.

The Waller stable have already had G1 success with another Inglis Ready 2 Race graduate this season in Tron Bolt and Kosei Top won in a manner that would suggest this win won’t be his last.

Kosei Top breezed in 10.67 seconds and subsequently sold for $220,000.

Bought from the DSB Thoroughbreds draft at Inglis Ready 2 Race by  Knine Inc / Rising Sun Syndicate, Kosei Top is the third winner from four foals to race from Unplayable, an unraced half-sister by Darci Brahma to multiple stakes-placed Oscar Zulu, who was a great old warrior for the Waller stable in Sydney winning just shy of $1million in prizemoney.

Third dam of Kosei Top is blue hen Parfore, who had 10 foals to race all winners headed by Group I winners Terravista, Tiger Tees, $1.8million earning Group II winner Ball of Muscle as well as SW’s Super Easy and Our Lukas.

Pedigree won’t be the thing holding Kosei Top back from further success!

Kosei Top is one of nine 2YO winners this season for All Too Hard and they include Group winning Golden Slipper place-getter Music Time and Hard Kick, who was also sourced from Inglis Ready 2 Race and won the Listed VRC Talindert impressively on debut before spelling with spring goals in mind.
