All Too Hard -- James Macdonald made his return to race riding after a 18 month suspension today and in the opening event, at Warwick Farm he got the Waller team off to a flying start, when Cormac, scored in the 1400m maiden. The 3yo gelding is out of the Galileo mare, St Minerva. It was the first of two winners for this combination when later in the day a Savabeel gelding, Monasterio ,scored over 1600m in the BM 80. The Savabeels really love that mile ! This was also a start of a double for the stallion All Too Hard on the day because in the 2yo 1000m race at Sandown the filly Riviera scored for the Hawkes/Dunn combination.
He is half brother to Black Caviar
by the Flying Spur stallion Casino Prince
Fifty Stars -- The Sea the Stars colt has to be awarded the most superior victory of the day as he sat three wide most of the journey in the 1400m BM70 race at Sandown and still won in easy fashion, to keep his unbeaten record, intact. Trained by Darren Weir and ridden by Brad Rawiller. The dam of Fifty Stars is Swizzle Stick a daughter of Sadlers Wells. This colt could measure up in group races over a trip being by Sea The Stars. Where 1600m and beyond could see him claim a major win in the spring for the Darren Weir team.

So You Think -- The progeny of So You Think have been showing their inherited talents over the last racing season and it continued on Wednesday when Heavenly Thought scored in the final race on the Sandown card to give Darren Weir, four for the day. The 3yo colt was again ridden by Brad Rawiller . His other success for the day was at Murray Bridge when Bad Wolf saluted over 1200m for the Bowditch/Kennewell combination.
Hectopascal and Sandown -- This 4yo Pins mare is certainly in love with the Sandown track as she gave Darren Weir another winner, when she flashed through a gap to score, in the last few strides of the 1400m mares race. This makes it four wins from her five starts at Sandown. The stallion Pins stood at Waikato Stud and was laid to rest last month under the trees at the Waikato stud alongside fellow champions O'Reilly, Centaine and Pompeii Court.He sired the 2007 Cox Plate victor El Segundo.
Chris Waller -- Just a couple more winners worth mentioning in this weeks review of midweek racing and they are both trained by Chris Waller. Pembroke Castle is an I Am Invincible 2yo colt and could well be one for the future as he is out of the Redoutes Choice mare, Callista. He finally opened his account in the 1200m two year old event after four tries.The other is Almighty Crown who got up in the BM75 2100m event. He is a Street Cry gelding, out of Sesenta an Encosta De Lago mare and was ridden by an under rated Jock in Tim Clarke.
