Your Song and All Too Hard have been trading blows since
August 1, posting winner after winner with All Too Hard adding his 14thwinner when well-bred Aberro saluted at Sandown as a short priced favourite on
Wednesday.
Second to subsequent stakes-winner Merchant Navy on debut back in March and
then sixth in the Group I ATC Champagne Stakes to The Mission, Aberro went to
the spelling paddock as one our most promising maidens.
The Matt Laurie trained colt was a hot favourite when resuming in the 1300
metre maiden on Wednesday and was able to overcome his outside gate to score a head
win in a thrilling finish over Fastnet rock colt Wassergeist.
Given time to find his feet back in the field by Ben Melham, Aberro unwound a powerful
finish that will see him winning more races, probably over a touch further.
Retained to race, Aberro is a half-brother to Group I SAJC South Australian
Derby winner Escadero (by All Too Hard's sire Casino Prince) and Group II
winner Se Sauveur.
He is the third winner for Giant's Causeway (USA) mare Secret Truth, who was covered
last spring by Pride of Dubai.
A half-brother to the great champion Black Caviar, All Too Hard stands at
Vinery Stud at a fee of $44,000.
