There were a few worries before the short-priced favourite Billionair Baby broke his maiden over 1200m at Doomben on Wednesday and completed a magical few days for a renowned Eureka Stud family.
Last Saturday, Billionair Baby’s half-brother Simply Fly (Spirit Of Boom) scored a barnstorming victory in the Listed BRC Chief De Beers Quality at Doomben, and shortly before Billionair Baby broke her maiden, close relation Heaven’s Wish made a winning career debut at Murray Bridge.
Ridden by James Orman for Robert Heathcote, Billionair Baby speared between runners after being buffeted when searching for a run. The son of Winning Rupert defeated the Russian Revolution filly, Russian Queen, by two lengths, with the Denman filly Echo Hunter a length and a half back in third.
It was a well-deserved win for Billionair Baby, who raced without luck when second at his first two starts and Doomben and the Sunshine Coast.
The son of Winning Rupert was a $40,000 purchase for Adrenaline Thoroughbreds from the Eureka Stud draft at the 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
