Unencumbered (2c Testa Rossa – Blizzardly by More Than Ready). This smart winner is the latest bred on a very successful nick.
A brilliant win by Unencumbered in the $200,000 Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic RL on Thursday has again put the spotlight on his dam sire More Than Ready (USA), who has made a big impact this year through his daughters siring the dams of three Group I winners – reports Breednet.com.au
The grand-son of Halo is now the sire of the dam of 14 stakes-winners in total led by three 2013 Gr.1 winner’s – Rebel Dane, Miracles of Life and Atlante, all three of them by Danehill (USA) line sires as is another of his Australian stakes-winner in Impetuous, while Unencumbered is by a Danzig line sire in Testa Rossa.
More Than Ready over Danehill line mares has always been seen as a very successful nick, so to see it working in reverse is hardly rocket science, but reassuring nevertheless coming into the yearling sales season.
With sire-sons Sebring (Widden), Pluck (Vinery) and Verrazano (Coolmore) coming through, More Than Ready’s progeny look set to continue his influence on Australian breeding.
There are 16 yearlings catalogued for Magic Millions from mares by More Than Ready – click here to see them – and of those, nine are by Danehill line sires.
