Boom Sale on Gold Coast

Sponsored Content - by Breednet - Sunday March 23

A perennial source of juvenile talent, Spirit of Boom has stepped on the gas this season with winners of 15 x 2YO races including 4 individual stakes races.

It certainly augurs well for the 2025 Magic Millions March Yearling Sale which kicks off tomorrow and features no less than 22 youngsters by Spirit of Boom – with an even 10 from his homebase, Eureka Stud.

“Spirit of Boom is punching out mass winners and stakes winners as per usual, but the past few months have been incredible for his 2YOs,” Eureka Stud’s Harry McAlpine points out.

"On top of his usual Queensland 2yo domination he has had his best performances interstate with Lindsay Park’s Shining Smile winning three stakes races in a row, and Gin Spirit who won the Cinderella late last month and finished second in the (Group 3) Ottawa. Also the very promising Extractor, who was third in the Golden Gift and the Lonhro Plate before a luckless run in the Blue Diamond.

“He is just a remarkable stallion … he’s got 72% winners to runners and 5% stakes winners to runners! We’re really looking forward to this week because he always seems to unearth some of his most talented at this sale with the likes of Prince of Boom, Chinny Boom, Keshi Boom, Boomnova, Champagne Boom and Boomsara all coming out of here!"

Second foal of a half sister to multiple Group 1 winner Shadow Hero, in turn from the Group winner Sookie. Direct descendant of Champion 2YO filly, Victory Vein.

Lot 6 Filly  Encryption x Regal Tier

Undoubtedly one of the sale stand outs, this filly is a half sister to 4 winners – from 4 to race – including Group 3 Ken Russell winner and $1.1 million earner, Wisdom of Water. Outstanding black type family.

Lot 25 Filly Victor Ludorum (GB) x Salizada

Only one of two offerings in the sale by Shamardal’s dual Group 1 winner, Victor Ludorum, this is the first foal of a half sister to Group 2 winning 2YO filly Altar and to the dam of 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner O’ Ole.

Lot 48 Filly Farnan x Spiriting

Speed to burn. By boom first season sire, Farnan, the filly is the second foal of a winner and closely related to Champion 2YO and Golden Slipper winner, Crystal Lily and dual Group 1 winner Zougotcha.
