Spirit of Boom (Aus) (Sequalo {Aus}) sired his 18th 2-year-old winner of the season at Ipswich on Wednesday, when 2-year-old gelding Bold Warrior (Aus) won narrowly over Justdini (Aus) (Bernardini) going 1350 metres. The Eureka Stud-based first-season sire is now tied with the late Northern Meteor (Aus) (Encosta de Lago {Aus}) with just under a month remaining until the new season starts on Aug. 1. Forwardly placed out in the center of the course from the bell, the bay took command 1000 metres out and withstood all challengers to win by a long neck at the line. The time was 1:21.37. Spirit of Boom received a fee hike for the upcoming season to A$55,000 from A$11,000 and has already sired five stakes winners.
