Ready to Live Brings $200,000 at Keeneland

Posted on Nov 9, 2005

Lexington, KY – Ready to Live, Bongo Racing Stable’s  stakes-winning broodmare prospect by More Than Ready, from the Crafty Prospector mare Viva La Viva, sold for $200,000 at Keeneland’s 2005 November Breeding Stock Sale on Tuesday, November 8.

The spirited bidding war was won by noted Australian bloodstock agent Vin Cox.

“She is a lovely mare and I loved her pedigree,” Cox said. “We’ll be taking her back to Australia.”

The first two-year-old stakes winner by her sensational sire, Ready to Live was versatile enough to earn black type at distances from five and one-half furlongs on the dirt to one mile on the turf, while being voted seasonal honors as the top two-year-old filly at Louisiana Downs in 2004.

Ready to Live was consigned to the sale by Four Star Sales.
