A homebred for Rob Crosby, prepared by Team Hawkes, five year-old All Too hard mare Dawn Dawn scored her first Black Type win when taking out the Group II ATC Guy Walter Proven Thoroughbreds Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.

She did best in a thrilling finish to score a short half head win taking her overall record to five wins and six placings from 16 starts with earnings in excess of $360,000.



Dawn Dawn is the best of two winners from Dawned, a half-sister by One Cool Cat (USA) to Group winners Beat the Fade and Dawn Til Dusk.

Dawned has a yearling colt by Frosted (USA), a weanling filly by Pride of Dubai and was covered last spring by Invader.

All Too Hard sired two new SW's in Dawn Dawn and Hard Rock GirlCaulfield trainer Byron Cozamanis made a good decision to send last start Moonee Valley winner Hard Rock Girl across to Adelaide for the Listed SAJC Cinderella Stakes (1050m) at Morphettville and she rewarded him with a dominant three-quarter length win.

Hard Rock Girl led all the way and has now won two of five starts earning over $100,000 in prizemoney.

A $125,000 Inglis Classic purchase for her trainer from the Bhima Thoroughbreds draft, Hard Rock Girl was bred by Kia Ora and Steve McCann and is the best of three winners from stakes-placed Fastnet Rock mare Rock of Fortune.

A three-quarter sister to stakes-winner Chic Choice from the family of Group I winners Easy Rocking, Fairy King Prawn and Cosmic Endeavour, Rock of Fortune has a yearling filly by Sebring and is in foal to Written Tycoon.

Dawn Dawn and Hard Rock Girl are the 14th and 15th stakes-winners for All Too Hard, who has 10 entries for Inglis Premier and you can see them here..
