The first acceptances have been released for the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas, which is due to run at Caulfield Racecourse on Wednesday October 17, 2012.
A total of 77 horses remain after the first round of acceptances were taken for the 2012 Caulfield Guineas yesterday.
Included in the 2012 Caulfield Guineas first acceptances is All Too Hard, who is chasing the first Group 1 win of his career.
All Too Hard placed third in the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes first-up, before running a disappointing fifth from six runners in the Group 3 The Run To The Rose last start.
The Casino Prince colt has won three of his six race starts and has earned more than $430,000 in prize money.
The three-year-old will next run in the Group 1 George Main Stakes at Royal Randwick racecourse on Saturday September 22, 2012.
Despite All Too Hard’s Group 1 aspirations, star colt Pierro threatens to take it away from him with his presence in the 2012 Caulfield Guineas first acceptances.
Pierro has won all seven of his career race starts and has earned more than $3.02 million in prize money.
The Lonhro colt won the Group 1 Golden Slipper during the autumn, before claiming victory in both the Group 1 Sires’ Produce Stakes and Group 1 Champagne Stakes in his next two race starts.
He won the Group 3 The Run To The Rose by almost one and a half lengths in his first-up spring race start on September 1, 2012.
