Seventh Winner for Better than Ready

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 11

The most represented sire in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic this Saturday with four runners, Better Than Ready added another winner to his ever growing tally with a six length winner at Rockhampton on Thursday.

Better Than Ready

Trained by Glenn Richardson, two year-old colt Arnwood led all the way to win in a breeze as a short priced favourite at his third start.

Arnwood is the seventh winner from 18 runners for Better than Ready, who has made a spectacular start to his stud career and leads the Australian First Season Sires List by winners and earnings with his stakes-winners The Odyssey and Better Reflection leading the way.

By champion sire More Than Ready (USA), already a successful sire of sires through his Golden Slipper winning son Sebring, Better Than Ready stands at Eureka Stud at a fee of $9,900 and covered a whopping 236 mares last season.
