Vinery Stud’s All Too Hard was in hot form on Boxing Day with a stakes-winner in Australia in All Too Royal and another in South Africa where Roy’s Riviera captured the Group III Flamboyant Stakes at Greyville.
Read about All Too Royal here.
A five year-old mare trained by Frank Robinson, Roy’s Riviera was already a Listed winner and scored a length and a quarter win in the 1600 metre feature taking her overall record to five wins from 28 starts.
Yet another stakes-winner bred by Gerry Harvey, Roy’s Riviera was a $70,000 Magic Millions purchase for Worldwide Bloodstock from his Baramul Stud draft.
Roy’s Riviera is a half-sister to stakes-winner Sebring Sally and is one of six winners from good producer Donna Amata, a half-sister by Anabaa (USA) to stakes-winners Yesterday and Donna Dior from the family of Golden Slipper winner Catbird.
Donna Amata has no yearling for the sales in 2020, but did produce a filly foal by Sebring this year.
Her half-sister Sebring Sally does have a Magic Millions entry with Milburn Creek to offer her first foal, a colt by American Pharoah (USA) as Lot 740.
