Sire of Mike de Kock’s SA Nursery and Graham Beck Stakes winner Frosted Gold, Black Caviar’s champion half-brother All Too Hard remains at A$27,500 despite moving into the Australian Top 5 for stakes-winners and stakes wins this season with just four crops racing.

As a Top 10 active sire by earnings, winners and wins as well, he is, without exception, the best value sire in the Hunter Valley.
Alligator Blood has taken his connections and All Too Hard on a Gr1 journey this season that climaxed in the Australian Guineas and there’s a range of options in the spring.
“We’ve had a lot of confidence in All Too Hard and we’re definitely seeing those results on the track,” Orton said.
“He has always had nice-sized crops coming through and this season alone he’s high up on the stallion lists for individual stakes-winners, including two juvenile stakes-winners, and total number of stakes races won.”
All Too Hard had a great year in the sale ring with a clearance rate of over 96% and an average of almost five times service fee at the majors.
Form Bloodstock purchased the New Zealand-bred Frosted Gold off the Blandford Lodge draft at the 2018 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale for A$180 000.
