Statistics would indicate that BETTER THAN READY is the most prolific sire of 2YOs in Australia.
BETTER THAN READY himself was a late maturing son of MORE THAN READY but curiously, his offspring have excelled as 2YOs.
This season he leads the 2YO sires premiership with 10 wins – at least 6 more than any rival – but the table below is what really sets him apart.
2YO winners from first two crops:
| YEAR 1 | CROP 1 | CROP 2 | TOTAL | |
| BETTER THAN READY | 2019 | 23 | 17 | 40 |
| DEEP FIELD | 2019 | 21 | 16 | 37 |
| I AM INVINCIBLE | 2014 | 15 | 20 | 35 |
| EXCEED AND EXCEL | 2008 | 13 | 19 | 32 |

| RUBICK | 2019 | 15 | 6 | 21 |
| FASTNET ROCK | 2009 | 12 | 8 | 20 |
His standout performer so far this term is the undefeated dual-stakes winner ALPINE EDGE who is currently second favourite for next month’s Magic Millions Classic following a most impressive win in the Group 3 BJ McLachlan last Saturday.
The BETTER THAN READY x RIDOLFI 2YO colt (pictured) Proven Thoroughbreds purchased earlier this year had his first jumpout this week and was strong through the line (see replay with rider comments below).
