Spirit of Boom Fee Set at $55,000

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 16
Eureka Stud have set fees for their stallions including first season sire sensation Spirit of Boom, who will jump from $11,000 to $55,000.

The sire of 11 first crop winners, four of them stakes-winners, Spirit of Boom is the leading two year-old sire in the country by winners and has also been a sensation in the sale ring this year with 62 yearlings selling at an average $161,750.



His top seller this year was a colt from Tiyatro that fetched $500,000 at Magic Millions to the bid of renowned judge James Harrron in a clear indication Spirit of Boom is destined for the upper echelon of sires.

Spirit of Boom stands alongside Defcon at $6,600 and Red Dazzler at $4,400.
