Spirit Of Brodie Makes it 16 for Spirit Of Boom

Mark Smith - Sunday June 18

Of the 118 foals from Spirit Of Boom's 2020 crop, there is just one grey, Spirit Of Brodie, who broke his maiden with a fighting win over a 1000m at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday.

Ridden by James Orman for Stuart Kendrick, Spirit Of Brodie needed to dig deep to fend odd the erratic Capitalist colt Ser Joh by a neck, with the Jabali gelding I'lltellyouwhen one and a quarter length back in third.

Spirit Of Brodie debuted with a close-up fifth in the QTIS Jewel Prelude at Eagle Farm on March 4 and was not beaten far again when fourth in a handy field of maidens over 1200m at Eagle Farm eleven days later.

 A half-brother to the talented Rich Enuff gelding Kingston's Here, Spirit Of Brodie is the second winner from as many to race for the hard-knocking Jet Spur mare Britaila Kate.

Like Spirit Of Brodie and Kingston's Here, Britaila Kate is a homebred for Marlene Cook.

In a long career on the track, Britaila Kate won six and placed in 17 of her 45 starts. The daughter of Jet Spur foaled a colt by Spieth last spring.

Eureka Stud's Spirit Of Boom joins Better Than Ready and Russian Revolution on sixteen two-year-old winners for the season in a race going down to the wire.

That trio are three ahead of I Am Invincible, Dundeel, Zoustar and Capitalist.
