Patinack Farm owned 2YO star colt will not take part in Saturday’s Golden Slipper Stakes after deciding he will take the easier option to hopefully prevent a dent in his sire prospect price thus will run a week later in the Sires’ Produce Stakes.

Pre-post favourite All Too Hard will not run in Saturday’s $3.5 million Golden Slipper.

Co-trainer John Hawkes has informed the Australian Turf Club the half brother to Black Caviar will be saved for the Sires’ Produce Stakes a week later.

A brilliant winner of Saturday’s Pago Pago stakes, the Nathan Tinkler-owned All Too Hard displaced Melbourne filly Samaready as favourite on Monday.

But after he worked on Tuesday morning, Hawkes made the decision to bypass the world’s richest race for two-year-olds.

Blue Diamond Stakes winner Samaready is expected to be reinstated as favourite.

The 2012 Golden Slipper Field and barrier draws will be released at noon today. We will be providing a live blog of the event so remember to check back.
