The quintessential Queenslander, Eureka Stud's homebred sprinter Spirit of Boom
was a natural runner from day one who carried his best form all the way through
to age six when he claimed a popular victory in the Group I BRC Doomben Ten
Thousand.
Spirit of Boom was a stakes-winner at two, an interstate Group I winner of the MVRC William Reid Stakes and was also a Group I runner-up on five occasions!
Natural athleticism coupled with a strong constitution and keen will to win made Spirit of Boom the perfect racehorse.
His 52 start career over five seasons yielded $2.4 million in prizemoney and if his offspring have a fraction of his speed and tenacity they will be an asset for purchasers for years to come.
Spirit of Boom had six yearlings sell in Book I at an average price of $120,000, his best result coming with a filly from Pure Purrfection that made $210,000 when secured by Alan and Jennifer Acton.
Not far behind was a colt from Tiyatro that made $150,000 when snapped up by Randwick Bloodstock / Mystery Downs, both youngsters offered by Eureka Stud.
Spirit of Boom was sixth on the first season sires by average list for Book 1, a remarkable achievement given his service fee of $11,000 put him as the least expensive of all first season sires with entries in this sale.
Spirit of Boom also enjoyed 100% clearance in Book 2 with seven yearlings all changing hands at an average $47,143.
It was on the Breednet Sire Profitability list for Book I that Spirit of Boom really held his head high finishing in third spot behind current leading sires Written Tycoon and I Am Invincible, who have both succeeded at the highest level having started from a very modest base fee.
Eureka Stud are looking to extend the reputation of Spirit of Boom beyond his home state of Queensland and will offer a small select group of his progeny at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale in Sydney next month.
