Super Sire - More Than Ready

The Brad Cox-trained juvenile was winning for the second time in three starts as she beat Gal In A Rush (Ghostzapper) and Mystic Eyes (Maclean’s Music) by half a length and the same. Bubble Rock is out of the Giant's Causeway (Storm Cat) mare Reef Point, who herself is a half-sister to Korean champion and Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (Gr 1, 8f) third Blue Chipper (Tiznow). Reef Point's most recent foal is a yearling colt by Candy Ride (Ride The Rails). She was bred to Twirling Candy (Candy Ride) for 2022.

More Than Ready now resides full-time at WinStar Farms in Kentucky where his 2021 fee was listed as US$65,000 (approx. AU$88,930).

Footnote: More Than Ready added to this tally on Sunday when his 2yo colt Slipstream took out the Group 3 Futurity Stakes at Belmont.
