Fast Start Continues All Too Hard

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 19

All Too Hard’s fast start to the new season continued at Canterbury on Wednesday with two hot favourites saluting in Pitchfork and Forbidden Love, who is nominated for the Group I ATC Golden Rose next month.

The Richard and Michael Freedman trained filly Forbidden Love was resuming from a spell in the Benchmark 72 event for fillies and mares and proved too good in winning the 1200m sprint by a length and a half.
