HKJC buys All Too Hard colt at Gold Coast sale
The Hong Kong Jockey Club bought an athletic bay colt from a high-quality family at the recent Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in Australia.
All bidding on Lot 398 stopped at AUD320,000 (approximately HK$1,770,000) during Book 1・s second session when the auctioneer・s hammer fell in the Club・s favour.
The youngster is by the great Black Caviar・s half-brother All Too Hard, a highly talented galloper in his own right, being a four-time G1 winner at 1400m and a mile.
The yearling・s dam is the G2-winning sprinter-miler Bellini Rose who has already produced a G1 winner in Howard Be Thy Name, winner of the South Australian Derby. It is also the family of Hong Kong International Cup heroine Romanee Conti and the top-class Darci Brahma, the latter a G1-producing sire in Hong Kong.
