One to Watch – Sunshine Coast

Media Release - Sunday December 30

He may never soar to the heights of his champion full sister More Joyous, but this lightly raced four year-old gelding is now a winner and did the job in style at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday.

More Than Ready is the sire of Sunday Session

More Than Ready is the sire of Sunday Session

Transferred from the care of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott after two unplaced runs at the provincials earlier this year to the Gold Coast stables of Toby Edmonds, Sunday Session seems to have found his mojo in Queensland.

Bred and retained to race by John Singleton, Sunday Session was sent out favourite and led all the way over 1800 metres to win by four lengths in a dominant display.

He is the fifth winner from seven to race from Sunday Silence's Group I ATC Australian Oaks winner Sunday Joy, whose star daughter More Joyous won 21 races and $4.5 million in prizemoney and eight Group I wins.

Sunday Joy is still going strong at age 19 and has a two year-old colt by Fastnet Rock called Lewis, a yearling filly by More Joyous and Sunday Session's sire More Than Ready (USA) and a filly foal by the same sire.
