Pedigree Update (22/08/21): This colt's half-brother PREVISO wins yet again! Now his fourth career win and 3rd win from 9 starts this campaign!


** By the 2 x Champion QLD Sire of 2yo Winners including 2021 QLD star ALPINE EDGE in BETTER THAN READY
** A bargain buy that is both QTIS & MAGIC MILLIONS nominated
** Out of a 2 x winning Northern Meteor mare who’s had the one to race for a 3 x winner and 2yo winner
** Fantastic value colt to follow in the footsteps of fellow bargain QTIS buys for the FLR & Rob Heathcote team RELEASE THE BEANS, SCOTTISH MIST, ALPINE DANCER and DEE DAY DIVA.


** BETTER THAN READY finishes the 2020/21 Racing Season as Champion 2yo QLD Sire for the 2nd time from his first 3 crops to race, plus 2nd Leading Sire of Earnings and Overall Winners behind the reigning Champion Spirit Of Boom


WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT HIM:


We’re a big fan of Australia’s Leading Sire of 2yo winners BETTER THAN READY and thought this colt would sneak through the cracks and we were right!


** A sharp type who is well balanced and a beautiful mover who’s very light on his feet. Being a November foal, he’s got plenty of growing to come and he’s got the right frame and scope to develop into a lovely Autumn 2yo


** BETTER THAN READY just keeps getting better… he is not just QLD’s Champion 2yo Sire again for the 2nd time from only 3 crops to race, but a Leading Sire of 2yo winners Australia-wide finishing 2020/21 season with a high 39.1% strike rate - higher than NOT A SINGLE DOUBT (35.7%), WRITTEN TYCOON (38%), SEBRING (31.4%), I AM INVINCIBLE (29.3%), SNITZEL (35%) and CAPITALIST (32.7%)


** Dam Miss Le Nord was a 2 x winner herself and has produced only the one to race for a 3 x winner and 2yo winner!


BREEDING:


Sire – BETTER THAN READY (by More Than Ready)


** At first there was Spirit Of Boom breaking records and then there was BETTER THAN READY! Champion First Season and Champion 2yo sire with a phenomenal record breaking 23 x 2yo winners in his first season at stud!


** Sire of recent Group 3 & Listed winning 2yo ALPINE EDGE, 2 x Group 3 winner APACHE CHASE (50k yearling), $1Million Magic Million QTIS Handicap winner THE ODYSSEY (30k yearling) plus further Stakes Winners JAGGED EDGE (40k yearling) and BETTER REFLECTION (20k yearling), Stakes Placed PAREDO and of course, FLR's own 2 x back-to-back winner BETTER GET READY


** He will be crowned Queensland Champion Sire of 2yo Winners for the 2nd time from 3 crops to race PLUS he is a Leading top 10 Sire of 2yo Winners Australia-wide at a high 39.1% strike rate – ahead of Fastnet Rock, Spill The Beans, Flying Artie, Zoustar, Brazen Beau & Exceed And Excel


Dam – MISS LE NORD (Northern Meteor)


** This colt is only the third foal out of 2 x winner on the track Miss Le Nord who has had on the one to the races for 2yo winner PREVISO


** She is the daughter of another winner and incredibly well related in MICHAUX who is the three-quarter sister to Stakes Winners A TIME FOR JULIA, ALMIGHTY GIRL & TIME THIEF


** Furthermore, this is the family of Champion Sprinter LAISSERFIARE and brilliant broodmare PERSONIFY, the dam of 2020 Group 1 VRC Oaks winner PERSONAL
