More Than Ready – Running hot
More Than Ready, the pride of Vinery, in the Hunter Valley at Scone, with four winners over the current week, has increased his progeny earnings to $106,067,000, well ahead of his nearest rival in Australia.
The winning streak commenced when Verrazaamo won the Group 2 Tampa Bay Derby, followed by More Than Sacred’s success in the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks, Romantic Moon became a live Golden Slipper chance after her win in the Group 3 Sweet Embrace Stakes, and Hydro capped off the week winning at Newcastle.
His versatility as a sire is beyond question he has sired two Derby winners and two Golden Slipper successes plus a third could be on the way.
Much of his success as a sire can be attributed to the proven nicking pattern to Danehill line mares that has worked so well, it is becoming a popular cross.
More Than Ready is best described as the sprinter miler, he won to 1400 metres in Group 1 company, much the same as Danehill.
His success rate is likely to continue tomorrow when his bonny daughter, More Joyous, locks horns with her stable mate, Pierro, in the $350,000 Canterbury Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.
