In a breeding coup for Queensland, the historic Lyndhurst Stud at Warwick in association with Yarramalong Park will stand Better Than Ready for the 2015 season. With 8 wins including 4 Stakes wins & a Group 1 placing this high class sprinting son of More Than Ready also ran other incredible times. He followed up his Randwick course record with 1200m in 1.8.96 under 60.5kg and 1000m in 56.88 under 60.5kg at Eagle Farm. Better Than Ready easily won his first 2yo start after overcoming difficulties in 58.16 for a 1000m on a dead 5 track. Clearly, Better Than Ready demonstrated exceptional ability and will be a wonderful addition to the Lyndhurst roster.

Bred along similar lines to the highly successful Sebring, Better Than Ready’s first three dam sires are champion world class sprinters. His dam is the winner of 5 races; his grand dam is a stakes winner as his third dam. He is a striking, athletic almost black stallion, who is physically and genetically compatible with a large proportion of the Australian broodmare population, especially the Danehill and Danzig lines.

There are a limited number of shares available at $23,550 + GST. Each share has 2 lifetimenominations per annum. Fertility and mortality insurance is available and recommended for year 1 at $2,182 including GST. Better Than Ready will stand for a service fee of $9,900 including GST in 2015. Live foal guarantee.

There are already a large number of select sale mares committed for 2015 and his final book is expected to produce yearlings that should be extremely attractive to the buying bench at the major sales as well as our March sale. The QTIS breed back scheme presents a special opportunity for breeders to qualify mares who have travelled interstate in 2014. Better Than Ready is an ideal Breed Back option for these mares.
