Spirit of Boom is Australia's leading son of the country's most consistent sire of the past decade, Sequalo. He is the modern day iron horse, having raced uninterrupted for five seasons at the highest level. Spirit, as he is affectionately known, has become one of the most popular horses in the country and forms one part of the “Boom Brothers”.
His popularity has skyrocketed in the last 12 months, with consistent performances at the elite level start-after-start. He broke through at Group 1 level in the autumn and it didn't take long before he became a dual Group 1 winner when taking out the Doomben 10000 when the Boom Brothers finished 1-2. He has finished in the top four at Group 1 level, 11 times and overall 30 times in Stakes Company. His uncanny ability to turn in outstanding final sectionals, culminating in numerous blistering finishes has seen the son out of Temple Spirit develop a cult following among loyal racing fans.
Such admiration has extended to Spirit's Group 1 winning brother, Temple of Boom, with the duo showing durability and consistent speed in all seasonal contests over the past five years. A stud career beckons for Spirit of Boom at the end of the 2014 homestate winter carnival, where he will stand at his birthplace, Eureka Stud at a very reasonable fee of $11,000.
