Hard Too Think (AUS) Horse
About
Hard Too Think is a 9yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Kevin & Stephen Gray. He is by the stallion All Too Hard out of the mare Mnemonic. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $780,510, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 25 July 2021 in Singapore, ridden by Marc R Lerner, he captured his biggest win to date in the $400,000 4yo Open Set Weight, beating Big Hearted. The horse has been lucrative for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 222% return on investment.
