Better Get Ready

Tara Madgwick - Sunday January 2

He’s the leading sire of two year-old winners in the country and posted a new stakes-winner at Doomben on Saturday when Tiger Heart took out the Group III BRC Vo Rogue Stakes, so for fans of Better Than Ready the 2022 Magic Millions Yearling Sale is a garden of opportunity with 40 of his yearlings catalogued.

A fast stakes-winning son of More Than Ready (USA), Lyndhurst Stud’s Better Than Ready started his stud career at a fee of $9,900 and remained at that price for his first four seasons before burgeoning success saw him priced up to $33,000.

The first yearlings conceived at the higher fee will be offered at the Gold Coast this year and the improved quality of mares he covered will see many more of his stock offered in Book 1 and you can click here to see them.

Better Than Ready has sired six stakes-winners in his career so far and all have been sold through Magic Millions Sales as seen below.
