Dual Group 1 winner Samaready (More Than Ready) (Lot 73) will surely garner a certain amount of attention at the Inglis Chairman's Sale given her racetrack record and ability as a broodmare.
The daughter of former Vinery Stud shuttler More Than Ready (Southern Halo) will be offered in foal to Arrowfield Stud's three-time champion sire Sntizel (Redoute's Choice) making the resultant foal a sibling to the Group 3 winner Exhilarates, who also landed the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) in 2019.
Exhilarates was purchased by Godolphin for $600,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale from the Vinery Stud draft in 2018.
Samaready herself was a top performer on the track, winning six races including the Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) and the AJ Moir Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m).
She is out of two-time winning Secret Savings (Seeking The Gold) mare Samar, making her a half-sister to Group 2 winner Night War (General Nediym).
Samar herself is a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner County Tyrone (Danewin) and the dam of 2014 JJ Atkins Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Almalad (Al Maher).
"She is one of those very rare gems that performed at the highest level on the track before proving herself as an elite producer," said Vinery Stud's Adam White.
"Samaready's first foal was showing plenty of talent before sadly fatally injuring herself as a two-year-old when in work with Mick Price. Her second is Exhilarates, who was always an exceptional looker and has proven to be a star.
Samaready has had a little bit of bad luck over recent seasons, however she is in foal again to Snitzel on an early cover. She is a mare that people can have a lot of confidence in."
