Better than Ready's Homebred Doomben Double
Lyndhurst Stud and Champion stallion, Better Than Ready, left their hoofprint on the Keith Noud program at Doomben on Saturday with a QTIS double via Skirt The Law and Northern Express.
Sires With Winners - Friday July 1
Here is the full list of 53 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.
Who Wants to Breed a 2YO Winner?
The ability to sire fast maturing early 2YO’s is a quality not all stallions possess, so the ones that can do it on a regular basis hold a unique place in the market and not all of them are super expensive.
The leading sire of two year-old winners this season is not Snitzel or Zoustar, it’s Lyndhurst Stud’s Better Than Ready and he posted his 11th juvenile winner at Doomben on Saturday where Steady Ready won by daylight on debut.
