In the past week two more stallions have hit the milestone of 100 winners for the season and these well proven Group I sires are well on their way to further success this season.

Eureka Stud’s Spirit of Boom sired 132 winners last season so is on track to surpass that success with this year’s stars including stakes-winning juveniles De Sonic Boom and Malaboom. He is aldo currently the leading sire by Australian 2YO winners with 10 on the board and counting! 

Spirit of Boom

Spirit of Boom will play a big role at the Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale later this month with 22 entries and he also has two for Magic Millions Adelaide next week.
