Beautiful, strong and athletic filly by the ultra consistent sire ALL TOO HARD

THE FILLY
- Athletic
- Terrific temperament
- Scope
- Balanced
- Strong
- Great constitution
A lovely filly with plenty of scope. She is a beautiful mover and has a terrific temperament. She is by a top 10 stallion who produces ultra consistent good class horses such as Forbidden Love, Bohemeth, Alligator Blood & Wellington. She is a filly who has the scope to race up to a beyond a mile which opens up many options for her future racing.
May 2022 update –
The filly is back in the stable and is progressing nicely. As with most of the breed, they appreciate a steady work load and will reward you for your patience. We havent rushed this filly, a tactic learned by training and talking to others who have trained All Too Hard progeny. They are tough, resilient horses. Gigi has completed a few weeks pre training at Fernhill on the track and working on the treadmill which she really enjoys.
Its been wonderful to see Forbidden Love perform so brilliantly through the Autumn and its very important to remember our filly is bred on the exact cross as Forbidden Love (By All Too Hard from a More Than Ready mare). Its an exceptional cross and has produced many of All Too Hard’s best progeny.
Gigi respresents excellent value for people wanting to join the partnership in a horse, at a reasonable price and she is now a 2yo so much of the waiting has been done.
Another important note – Gigi’s yearling half brother sold at Melbourne Premier for $80,000. Which is more than the current cost to join her partnership. Again, excellent value for our filly.

THE SIRE
The Australian Champion 3yo colt of 2012/13. He was voted second to his half-sister Black Caviar in Horse Of The Year honours that same year. He was also internationally recognised & rated the equal highest 3yo colt in the world – World Thoroughbred Rankings (Jan 2013).
“He’s right up there with the best I’ve ever trained,” trainer John Hawkes stated. “He’s a serious horse and is in the same class as Lonhro. He’s an absolute athlete and he’s got the family, the pedigree and a big heart.”
Supported by big numbers of excellent Gr.1 winning or producing mares in his first years at stud. All Too Hard’s yearlings made an immediate impact, with top prices hovering consistently around the $600k & $500k mark in the first few years they were offered. High demand for his youngsters is not surprising, considering he himself was an extremely good looking, Easter sale-topping yearling, selling for $1,025,000.
His first crop hit the racetrack in 2015/16 and proved themselves as serious 2yo’s and making All Too Hard the equal Champion First Season Sire by winners. In 2018 he was the Leading Second Season Sire by winners. He had sired more winners as a Second Season Sire (75) than all bar Northern Meteor from the previous 13 year’s worth of Second Season Sire records. And in 2018/19 he had more 2yo winners (11) than horses such as Lonhro, Dundeel, Zoustar, Stratum, Brazen Beau, Nicconi, Smart Missile, Redoute’s Choice, Dissident, Written Tycoon and Medaglia d’Oro.
In the 2018/19 season he was the youngest sire to reach a century of winners in Australia. He ended up amassing 107 Australian winners for the season, which is incredible when you consider that the only third season sires in the last decade to tally 100 winners or more for the season are: Smart Missile (113) in 2018, Pierro (107) in 2019, Stratum (100) in 2012 and Lonhro (100) in 2010.
“(Vinery) have had All Too Hard, the half-brother to Black Caviar, pass 100 winners for the season which is a phenomenal effort. He is an underestimated stallion in my book” – Peter Moody.
All Too Hard’s 2019/20 season had been his best so far, thanks to his 10 Stakes winners during the season and his superstar Group 1 winning son ALLIGATOR BLOOD, who earned over $2.8million. He finished the season in the Top 10 Sires by Winners with 110 and earnings of almost $8.6million.
The 2020/21 season started with a bang when consistent son BEHEMOTH took out the first Gr.1 of the season (the 1400m Memsie S.) and then backed up to set a weight-carry record by carting 60kg’s to victory in the Gr.1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes. Behemoth then took his earnings to over $2million by booking a run in The Everest.
Now with his oldest progeny 6yo’s trainers are rating their toughness, trainability and temperaments even more highly. All Too Hard is sitting in the Top 10 Active Australian Sires by earnings, winners, wins, Stakes winners & Stakes wins.
All Too Hard has sired 34 Stakes performers with over $26.6million in earnings from only 4 crops of racing age and already has a high 63% winners to runners strike rate.
