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.
