The Ontario-bred, cataloged as hip 184, was consigned to the sale by Lane's End and is a half-sister to Canadian Horse of the Year Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d'Oro) and SW & GSP Solemn Tribute (Medaglia d'Oro). Her second dam is GSW/GISP Chimichurri (Elusive Quality). Hard Not to Love was trained by John Shirreffs for a partnership including Mercedes Stable, West Point Thoroughbreds, Scott Dilworth and David Ingordo, among others.

Guarana Takes The Lead at FTKNOV

'TDN Rising Star' Guarana (Ghostzapper–Magical World, by Distorted Humor) shot to the top of the heap at Fasig-Tipton November Tuesday evening, hammering for a whopping $4.4 million. Consigned as hip 182 by Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency as agent to dissolve a partnership, the 5-year-old was offered in foal to the all-conquering Into Mischief and was hammered down to Hill 'n' Dale. Guarana earned no-brainer 'Rising Star' status with a 14 3/4-length debut stroll through the Keeneland slop and backed up the effort with a six-length defeat of GI Longines Kentucky Oaks heroine Serengeti Empress (Alternation) in the GI Acorn S. at Belmont. Wire-to-wire winner of the GI CCA Oaks in her lone attempt at nine furlongs, the bay was runner-up in the GI Cotillion S. and was perfect in two starts at four, including a half-length success in the GI Madison S. back at Keeneland.
