Exciting
young filly, Betaima, held off a strong field leading the entire way at Doomben
in the $125,000 Brisbane Broncos Sizzling Plate over 1050m expertly ridden by Jeff
Lloyd, who looks to be a very serious contender for Edmonds Stables for The
Star 2yr Magic Millions Classic next month with her earnings now over
$120,000.
Betaima was a $62,000 purchase from 2018 Gold Coast Yearling Sales from vendors, Yarramalong Stud and also her dam Naima, has a cracking full sister foal born safely onto the ground just a few weeks ago for breeders, Dane Trompert and Jamie Milliken of Deejay Bloodstock.
BTR's winners also include The Odessey, Well Prepared, Lepreezy, Better Reflection with plenty more promising youngsters to hit the racetracks soon.
With head turning presence, stunning good looks and great pedigree - as his name suggests, Better Than Ready is a son of champion stallion, More Than Ready, who had great success during his racing career trained by Kelly Schweida with 8 wins, 4 of those at stakes level and Group 1 placing, this talent on racetrack is now converting this into highly sought after juvenile speedy foals.
So far his progeny have found the line well numerous high profile trainers across QLD and some of these young horses will be targeting the prestigious The Star 2yr Magic Millions Classic, perfectly prepared and ready to win!
The faith
in Better Than Ready who stands at Lyndhurst Stud with talented horseman
brothers, Jeff and Griff Kruger and support has been unwavering from stallion
partners - very passionate and astute investors, Richard and Joanie Foster of
Yarrramanlong Stud who presented large drafts of his yearlings at all major
sales across Australia in the past year.

Perhaps the sunshine state of QLD is showing buyers that their stallions are seriously better than ready to perform on the national stage?
Notably this time last year - Spirit of Boom only had found two winners in the board for the season - whilst Better than Ready's progeny have already found five winners so far with some of the best ones yet to be unleashed in the southern states.

Lot 990 and Lot 1016 to be offered on Sunday 13th January, 2019 which could be perfect timing for vendors if Betaima or The Odessey take home top honours in the featured race on the life changing and breed shaping Magic Millions $10million Race day at AQUIS Park on Gold Coast on Saturday 12th January, 2019.
