Description
Lightly raced 4yo mare in full work and ready to race. She has only had the 3 career starts and is still very green and has a lot more to learn.
Her run at Grafton on August 31st was better than suggests on paper. The last 600m was run in 33.94 and although More Than Better was beaten 10 lengths, she did make up ground over the final 600m after slow beginning, making her time very respectable.
Her last start over 1300m can be dismissed as the rider thought that she wasn't suited to the distance.
More Than Better would pass any vet check if required and has never suffered any significant injuries.
She is by successful Queensland sire Better Than Ready, sire of 'The Odyssey', winner of over $1 million in prizemoney, out of a Manhattan Rain mare, so she holds good residual broodmare value.
Owners have young horses coming through and are looking to move her on.
