Better than Ready x One Fire Beach
2 Years Old Bay Colt
- Sire Better Than Ready
- Dam One Fire Beach
- Trainer Rob Heathcote
- Color Bay
- Sex Colt
- Foaled 21 Oct 2022
We thought this colt was the pick of the Yarramalong Park draft. He’s got everything we want to see in a horse. A well-grown colt that’s correct, he has a balanced and fluent action with a laid-back shoulder, big barrel and strong hind. Better than Ready continues to produce numerous winners in good races. The colt’s dam is by Street Cry who was a champion sire and he looks to be as good as a dam sire.
BY Better than Ready – QUEENSLAND QTIS with NATIONAL QUALITY
Better Than Ready won eight of his sixteen starts with half of his victories coming at Stakes level.
A son of More than Ready, a Gr.1 winner and Champion sire in both Australia and the USA, with offspring such as More Joyous and Sebring, Better than Ready was himself a speed machine on the track who broke Northern Meteor’s Randwick 1200m track record, running 1.08.19s.
Sent to stud as a multiple Stakes winner from an Australian speed family, he was an instant success producing fast and tough stock, which had him win the Australian First Season Sires’ Premiership defeating Deep Field. With quality horses coming through such as $1.5 million earner Apache Chase, $1.7 million earner The Odyssey and Magic Millions’ runner-up Alpine Edge, we’re looking forward to seeing what he does with the better mares he’s now getting as a result of his early success.
A horse who hit the ground running as a stallion, Better Than Ready is proving a terrific source of winners with an excellent strike rate of 65.1% and progeny earnings in excess of $38.9 million.
Nine of his progeny are Stakes winners and they are horses who really know how to find the line. His Gr.1 Kingsford-Smith Cup winning son Apache Chase was a nine times winner, and his now at stud son The Odyssey won ten races. His Stakes winners average 5.6 wins each and they can show up early - and race on.
OUT OF One Fire Beach – STRENGTH OF FAMILY
A city-placed two-times winner, One Fire Beach was a $250k yearling purchase by Anthony Cummings and is a daughter of the outstanding shuttling success story Street Cry (the sire of the mighty Winx who won 25 Group 1s along with over $26 million in prize money). But he’s no one-horse stallion, siring 133 Stakes winners and 25 individual Gr.1 winners (including another superstar in Zenyatta won 19 of her 20 starts including thirteen Group 1s and $7 million in the US).
And what an outstanding broodmare sire he is: currently third in the Australian sire charts behind Encosta De Lago and Fastnet Rock but with nearly half as many runners. Street Cry's daughters have produced 155 Stakes winners with 25 Gr.1 winners including the Gr.1 W.S Cox Plate hero Romantic Warrior.
This imposing, handsome colt is just the second foal for One Fire Beach whose first - the yet to race three-year-old Invader filly Koyu Beach - is a recent jump-out winner. One Fire Beach is one of the six winners (from as many foals to race) for the Gr.3 Tesio Stakes-winning Flying Spur mare Maslins Beach - also dam of the Stakes’ placed Salmanazar and fellow city winners Lord Coconuts and Honey Go Lightly.
Maslins Beach's Stakes-winning dam New Acquaintance also did a great job at stud, producing the Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner, Knowledge.
This is a family that has been producing high class performers for generations. The big race winners Igloo and Midnight Fever hail from the same branch of the internationally prolific Lady Josephine family, so well-represented in this part of the world by Eight Carat and her high class descendants.
