PierroFierce adversaries on the racetrack, Pierro and All Too Hard are set to take their battle to the racetrack next season when their first offspring jump from the gates.

Coolmore's Golden Slipper winner Pierro has 59 entries, while Vinery Stud's All Too Hard, the champion half-brother to Black Caviar, has 50 entries.

While that pair dominated first crop sires results at the yearling sales this year, Newhaven Park's Delago Deluxe was the big success story in terms of bargain priced sire making good and he has 18 Blue Diamond entries.

Champion racehorse and promising sire Frankel also has four entries including the first foal of champion mare More Joyous, a filly called Woman nominated by Gai Waterhouse.

Also among entries are the most expensive colt and filly sold in Australia this year.

The half-brother to Winx, by Snitzel from Vegas Showgirl, that made $2.3 million at Inglis Easter, has been nominated by Gai Waterhouse. She also trains his stakes-winning full brother El Divino.

The top filly, by Pierro from Monsoon Wedding, that made $1.4 million at Magic Millions has been nominated by Kris Lees.
