Eagle Farm trainer Tony Gollan enjoyed a moment he will never forget as Spirit Of Boom led in a Doomben 10,000 stable quinella last Saturday.

Spirit Of Boom has been a model of consistency this campaign and went into the Doomben 10,000 after seconds in the Group 2 Victory Stakes (1200m) and the BTC Cup (1200m).

Earlier in his prep, Spirit Of Boom had already confirmed himself a stud career after claiming a maiden Group 1 win of the William Reid Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley.

The rising seven-year-old looked to have a great chance of maximising his value in the Doomben 10,000.

Spirit Of Boom capitalised.

From barrier 2, the pair enjoyed an ideal run in transit as they settled sixth on the fence.

Always travelling well, jockey Michael Rodd barged Spirit Of Boom into clear running soon after straightening and went about reeling in early leader Buffering and stablemate Temple Of Boom.

Spirit Of Boom strode to the front 50m from home and claimed the Doomben 10,000 ahead of brother Temple Of Boom with Buffering weakening late for third.

Again Spirit Of Boom proved himself in a tight Group 1 finish with less than a length separating the first four across the line as was the case in the William Reid Stakes (1200m).

Spirit Of Boom’s latest winning display was awarded a Timeform rating of 120, a pound clear of his previous peak most notably run to when claiming the William Reid Stakes.

The run comes in below the prior five year winning average of the Doomben 10,000 taken out during that period by the likes of Apache Cat, Hot Danish and Epaulette.

With retirement looming, connections have decided their star will have one more race start.

The Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) on June 7 will be Spirit Of Boom’s swansong and sadly the rising seven-year-old has plenty standing in the way of him and a fitting farewell.

Buffering has been sent to the spelling paddock which will result in Spirit Of Boom claiming the number 1 saddlecloth and carrying 58kg.

More than two decades go by before finding a horse which possessed a similar profile as Spirit Of Boom heading into a Stradbroke Handicap.

Only Rough Habit in 1992 has carried more than 56kg to Stradbroke Handicap glory.

The Doomben 10,000 a fortnight earlier regularly possesses the subsequent winner of the Stradbroke Handicap however the last to claim the double was Campaign King in 1988.

A statistic in Spirit Of Boom's favour at the very least is four of the past six Stradbroke Handicap winners have been six-year-olds back to Mr Baritone in 2008.

Regardless of the result Spirit Of Boom yields in the Eagle Farm feature, the Sequalo entire will bow out having provided connections with an abundance of fond memories.

With nine wins and 20 placings from 51 starts, Spirit Of Boom has amassed in excess of $2.3million in prizemoney.

With a stud career based in Queensland also due to commence in the spring, the initial $90,000 investment at the 2009 Magic Millions QTIS Sale has proven most astute.

As was the case last Saturday, only his older half brother Temple Of Boom got close.
