COMMENTS AND PROSPECT:
ALL TOO HARD, trained by Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes, was the son of CASINO PRINCE and recorded 7 wins, 2 second and 1 third in 12 starts. He is a four-time G1 champion including Caulfield Guineas and All Aged Stakes. As the half-brother of the unbeaten champion mare BLACK CAVIAR, along with his brilliant form records, he caught the eyes among the industry. ALL TOO HARD started his stud duties in 2013, and 22 runners of him had won the black type including 2020 Australian Guineas winner ALLIGATOR BLOOD; BEHEMOTH, two times Memsie Stakes winner and Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes winner; WELLINGTON, two times winner of The Chairman's Sprint Prize. In 2022, his fee is AUD$ 38,500.
KEEFY was sold at AUD$ 105,000 as a yearling. He was trained by David Vandyke at the beginning with two wins at 1200M and 1666M respectively, then he joined Brad Widdup’s yard and took part in Bondi Stakes for a purse of AUD$ 1 million where he hit the front at one stage and just caught by HILAL who placed 2nd in G1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes, Champagne Stakes and 3rd in Randwick Guineas afterwards. Dam family members like former HK runner WESTERN EXPRESS and present HK runner TOURBILLON DIAMOND could handle mile or upper in distance, the bay gelding should be one of a kind that most suited from 1400M to 1800M. His prospect is positive.
