Ready’s Image to Calumet Farm
Ready’s Image has been purchased by Calumet where he will stand in 2015.
Ready’s Image, was the most expensive yearling from the 2005 crop by More Than Ready. He was a brilliant 2 year old winning the G2 Sanford and placed in the G1 Hopeful. Ready’s Image ran the fastest Beyer Speed figure at two in a graded sprint stake and was More Than Ready’s fastest U. S. Juvenile until recent winner Daredevil ran a 107 Beyer to eclipse Ready’s Image figure of 105.
Ready’s Image served his first season at stud in 2009. His first crop, now 4 year olds, includes multiple Graded Stakes winner I’m Already Sexy who has earned over $500,000. Ready’s Image is the sire of 8 stakes horses including track record – breaking multiple stakes winner Rivers Runs Deep, multiple stakes winner Leinan, stakes winner Renee’s Action and G2 placed two-year-old Big Sugar Soda.
“Having been involved with stud career of More Than Ready’s, Ready’s Image is a horse that I have admired for quite some time and we are thrilled to have him join our stallions here at Calumet,” said Ken Wilkins. “More Than Ready is as hot as ever at stud with Verrazano retiring to stud this year and current two-year-old Daredevil. Ready’s Image is a superb physical –something he shares with his father as well as being precocious. He is off to a fine start as a stallion in his own right and we think he offers great value for breeders.”
Ready’s Image has enjoyed success in the sale ring with his yearlings selling for $150,000, $105,000, $105,000, etc., and two-year olds in training selling for $220,000, $160,000, $120,000, etc. He has his largest and best-bred crop still to run, including 80 yearlings of 2014.
Owned by Jim Scatuorchio and campaigned by Todd Pletcher, “Ready’s Image is the best two-year-old I have ever trained” said the four time Champion Trainer at the time.
Ready’s Image will stand for $5,000 stands and nurses
