About
Tough As Stone is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matthew Dale in Goulburn. He is by the stallion Astern out of Dal Dal. He has recorded two career wins. On 22 Jun 2026 at Goulburn he captured his biggest victory, earning the $30,000.00 Country Boosted Class 1 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 93% return on investment.
