One, Two , Three for All Too Hard

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday December 19

Progressive four year-old gelding Fuchu may never be as good as his triple Group I winning half-sister Yosei, but he was smart enough to lead home a trifecta for his sire All too Hard in the second race at Wyong on Wednesday.

Retained to race by his breeder, Fuchu joined the Kim Waugh stable earlier this year after five previous runs for David Atkins including a win at Newcastle.

He has blossomed this preparation, winning at his second run for his new trainer at the start of the month before saluting again today over 1350 metres beating Cuba and Resonare, who are also by all Too Hard.

With over 50 winners to his credit this season, Vinery Stud's All Too Hard has sired the winners of over $2.3 million in earnings and is in 26^thplace on the Australian General Sires List with his oldest progeny just four year-olds.

To put that in context, take a look at the sires on either side of All Too Hard… he's obviously keeping very good company.
