Just how good is Toowoomba flyer Spirit Of Boom? That was a dynamic win he notched in the Magic Millions Prelude at the Gold Cst on Sat. It's not too often they win by 7 lengths!

Just how good is Toowoomba flyer Spirit Of Boom? That was a dynamic win he notched in the Magic Millions Prelude at the Gold Cst on Sat. It's not too often they win by 7 lengths! Spirit Of Boom zinged from the barriers and just sizzled away to beat General Shareef ($8) and his stablemate, Tiyatro. The winning time of 51.92s for the 900m was fractionally outside the race record of 51.72s set by Illuminates in 2007. Trainer Tony Gollan says: 'He's a really good colt this horse...We have been patient with him and given him plenty of time to mature so he would be ready in January. I expected him to race well and the blinkers have really switched him on. He will have to be hard to beat on that performance in the 2YO Magic Millions.'
Another flyer...Burdekin Blues is right on target for a crack at the Grp 1 Lightning Stakes at Flemington at the end of the month. He toyed with rivals to win the 900m Bat of Hell at the GCstCarrying top weight of 61kgs, BB jumped well and shot clear on straightening. Hed easily held off Azzaland by a length, with 1.25 lengths to Fantene.
