Spirit of Boom


With his oldest runners being just 4yo’s in the 2019/20 season, Spirit of Boom achieved an impressive feat by featuring in the Top 15 Sires of Australia by winners with ZOUSTAR the only other stallion to do so with progeny of the same racing age.

This season Spirit of Boom is currently sitting equal 6th on the Australian Sires table by winners alongside SO YOU THINK with 39 individual winners.

Overall, his progeny have converted an impressive 65% winners to runners with 157 individual winners (inc 12 stakes winners) earning $14 Million.

With these results being bred from an $11,000 service fee, we eagerly await to see what his $55,000 service crop can achieve which are to be sold as yearlings next year.

Having now won two titles, Spirit of Boom has emulated his sire SEQUALO who was also twice Champion Sire of Queensland. And joins legendary Eureka Stud stallion SEMIPALATINSK (5 titles) as a multiple title winner. Two sires that have no doubt had great genetic influence on Spirit of Booms own success.
