Better Mares Up the Ante for Spirit of Boom

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 8

Anybody conducting inspections on Magic Millions Yearlings this year will have noticed the marked improvement in quality and number of youngsters on show by Eureka Stud’s sire sensation Spirit of Boom.

Back in 2017, half a dozen first crop yearlings by Spirit of Boom averaged $120,000 at this sale, a remarkable result for a local Queensland sire standing at a fee of $11,000.

His most expensive yearling, a filly that made $210,000, would go on to race as Outback Barbie, winning multiple stakes races and over $$1.4 million in prizemoney.

Her success and the arrival of 11 subsequent stakes winners have made Spirit of Boom into hot property.

His service fee was raised to $55,000 in 2018 and many of the country’s best breeders got on board to support Spirit of Boom resulting in this game changing crop of yearlings.

Spirit of Boom has 47 yearlings catalogued over Book 1 and 2 with every yearling bred from a mare with Black Type performers in her immediate family.

His Magic Millions yearlings include: half-brother to this season’s Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate winner Finance Tycoon; half-sister to Group I winner Lasqueti Spirit; half-brother to Group III winner Native Soldier from Group II winner Belong to Many; half-sister to stakes-winner Eawase from Group III winner and Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Karuta Queen; half-brother to Group III winner Eptimum; full brother to Group III winner Boomsara;  half-sister to stakes-winner Peacock; full brother to stakes-winner Champagne Boom; colt from Group II winner Miss Pelear; filly from Group III winner Lyuba; filly from Group III winner Sugar Babe; filly from Group III winner Neena Rock; colt from G1 placed stakes-winner No Looking Back; colt from stakes-winner Palazzo Pubblico; colt from a half-sister to 2020 Group I VRC Oaks winner Personal; colt from stakes-winner Tiyatrolani; and a colt from stakes-winner Pravana.

Fans of Spirit of Boom will be delighted to see the quantity and quality of his Gold Coast stock and for those who are looking to test the waters, 2021 is the year to take the plunge!
