Better Than Ready The Tony Gollan trained youngster was placed at his first three starts including a third in the $500,000 Aquis 2YO Jewel and was long overdue to break through for a win.

He was tenacious inscoring a half head win in the 1000 metre dash as favourite and has now banked over $105,000 for his lucky owners.

A $37,500 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale purchase for his trainer from the Yarramalong Park draft, Ready to Roam is a half-brother to stakes-placed Snipzu and is the ninth winner from terrific producer Pilgrim, a half-sister to Group I winner Arkady.
