A colt by Eureka Stud's stallion Spirit of Boom (Sequalo) topped the day as figures soared across the board on Day 1 of the 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale. Leading local trainer John Morrisey went to $370,000 to secure Lot 69, the Spirit of Boom colt from Chroma who was offered by River Junction. He's a really lovely colt," Morrisey said moments after the sale. "He's a good mover and I'm very happy to get him. He's a great type and he's got a good pedigree as well and I had to go hard to beat Tony Gollan to get him," Morrisey added. Two lots earlier Morrisey had gone to $170,000 to secure Kenmore Lodge's Spirit of Boom filly from Chit Chat. Joe Heather, of River Junction who bred and sold the session-topping colt, was delighted with the price for the colt, saying, "It's a great result for a small Queensland farm to top Day 1 of the sale. The colt's going to a fantastic home and he will have every chance to achieve great things on the track." The top-selling filly on the day was Daandine Stud's Sebring (More Than Ready) youngster from Danehill Smile's 2YO Melbourne-winning daughter Go Again. She was purchased by Edmonds Racing and Kestrel Thoroughbreds for $240,000. "We fell in love with her leading into the January sale and we've had to wait a bit longer but we're delighted to get her," Kestrel Thoroughbreds' Bruce Slade said. "She's got great natural strength and is a really sweet mover. She will get up and go early and train on as a 3YO."
