“He’s right up there with the best I’ve ever trained. 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 temperament, the pedigree, and a big heart.”

“He’s right up there with the best I’ve ever trained. 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 temperament, the pedigree, and a big heart.” – trainer John Hawkes
Champion First Season Sire by winners.
Champion Second Season Sire by winners. He sired more winners as a Second Season Sire (75) than all bar Northern Meteor from the previous 13 year’s worth of Second Season Sires.
The youngest sire to reach a century of winners in Australia in 2018-19. He amassed 107 Australian winners for the season, which is incredible when you consider that the only third season sires in the previous decade to tally 100 winners or more for a season are: Smart Missile (113), Pierro (107), Stratum (100) and Lonhro (100).
“(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.
Half-brother to Champion BLACK CAVIAR and the dam of Champion 3YO OLE KIRK.
All Too Hard has been a Top 10 Sire by winners for the last four seasons – over 100 winners each season.
All Too Hard has sired 24 individual Stakes winners, 54 Stakes performers, and over $89.3million in earnings from 7 crops racing and already has a high 69.4% winners-to-runners strike rate.
Trainers constantly rate All Too Hard’s progeny as being tough, trainable and having excellent temperaments.
