Syndications Success


  • Blue Blood Thoroughbreds -- Victoria’s opening juvenile race of the season was Saturday’s Maribyrnong Trial Stakes at Flemington and it went to  Blueblood Thoroughbreds, Unite And Conquer who was the cheapest horse in the field. The son of Hinchinbrook was bought at the  Magic Millions sale on the Gold Coast for $80,000.  Trainerd by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott he came off a trial placing at Randwick. Today he jumped straight to the front and led all the way for Blueblood Thoroughbreds to secure a listed win. 

  • Flying Start Syndications -- Amphitrite has been flying over recent weeks and the filly gave members of the Flying Start Syndications more to smile about with a decisive win at Flemington on Saturday. Ridden by Craig Williams for the Darren weir camp. She impressed everyone leaving the ace trainer a bit confused at where he will head next with this talented filly. 

  • Grand Syndicates -- At Port Macquarie on Saturday in the 1500m Class 3 race we saw a good win by Zoffany Lad . It was his sixth start and third win on the trot for the Zoffany gelding . Coming back in distance and being on a wet track for the first time in his career, a 10/10 Ben Looker ride got the Grand Syndicates horse home. The $17,500 purchase has now won almost $40,000 in prizemoney

Gold Coast March Yearling Sales

Spirit of Boom progeny sets the Gold Coast Magic Millions March Sale alight. At last years sales we saw an excellent 8,500 million gross paid for stock but this year with a $430,000 sales topper by Spirit of Boom and an amazing 6.2 million paid for his progeny overall lifted the sales gross to $13,784,000.
 This is the $430,000 filly sold to Lyndhurst Stud 

Spirit of Boom as a racehorse was a tough high class galloper who may have only one twice at group one level in the Doomben Ten Thousand and William Reid Stakes but its his toughness that saw him place in another five over 52 start career.
  The Sequalo stallion is out of a Special Dane mare, Temple Spirit who is of the Danehill
/Bletchingly cross. Tony Gollan who trained Spirit of Boom and his brother Temple of Boomhas fond memories of his mum, Temple Spirit. "She changed my life. I may have given the game away but she changed everything, when she won 8 of her 16 starts. I was a bit of a gypsy back then not knowing where i was going. She set me up for a racing career" said, Tony.
