About
Why So Hard is a 3yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Michael, John & Wayne Hawkes at Flemington. He is by the stallion All Too Hard out of the dam Lonyx. To date he has secured one win. On 6 Jun 2026 at Randwick, he captured his most important victory, taking the $160000.00 2yo Hcp. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 150% return on investment.
