We
thought last season we were seeing something exceptional when bargain priced sire
Spirit of Boom churned out 18 Australian first crop winners, but lightning has struck
twice with another modestly priced Queenslander in Better than Ready equalling
and surpassing his figures.
Lyndhurst Stud's Better Than Ready quietly moved to 20 first crop winners on
Saturday when Better Than Gold scored a three length win at Kilcoy.
A fast Listed winner by More than Ready (USA) that won eight of 16 starts,
Better Than Ready has exceeded all expectations to date and has a deserved fee
increase this spring jumping from $9,900 to $33,000.
His 20 winners come from just 40 starters and include three stakes-winners The
Odyssey, Better Reflection and Jagged Edge, while his 30 individual wins from those
winners is the best of all stallions.
