More Than Ready
Irrespective of increased prize money, and bonuses, it takes a super sire to reach that elusive nine digit figure in progeny earnings.
The only two sires here within that category, are Encosta de Lago and More Than Ready, with Redoute’s Choice about to join the threesome.
Quite a coincidence that Encosta de Lago covered his first book of mares in 1997, the year that More Than Ready was foaled.
More Than Ready has proved the ideal mate when joined to Danehill mares; it has long been a successful nicking pattern.
That was clearly illustrated with two classic winners in Benicio’s win in the V R C Derby, and the dual classic success of Dreamaway in the W A T C Derby and Oaks.
More Than Ready is a potent force when matched with Danehill mares, breeding buffs continue to source out that successful nick.
More Than Ready is the only sire ever crowned Champion juvenile sire in Australia and North America.
Saturday last saw him rise to the occasion again, when Infinite Magic won the Group 3 American Derby at Arlington Park in north west Chicago, in doing so it became the 117th Stakes winner for the son of Southern Halo.
