The Straight – Bren O’Brien
At the weekend, Spirit Of Boom and So You Think became the fifth and sixth Australian stallions so far to register 100 individual winners for the 2024/25 season. It is a historically high number for this time of year. Run The Numbers digs into the background of this trend.
When Blake Shinn picked his way through the field to salute aboard Mighty at Sandown on Saturday, it represented a milestone 100th winner of the season for Spirit Of Boom.
It was far from the Eureka Stud stallion’s first seasonal century – he has now reached that mark in each of the past five Australian seasons, but he had never reached the milestone so early, just six months and one day since 2024/25 got underway.
It puts Queensland’s leading sire well ahead of pace to better his previous seasonal mark of 149, achieved in 2022/23. In that season, by early February, he had 81 winners. His century would not arrive until March 8.
Spirit Of Boom has had eight two-year-old winners, the most of any sire in Australia, and 20 three-year-old winners, with the vast proportion of his winners being four and over (72). Given that sire’s own race profile, it is not surprising to see his horses training on past their classic year.
He is not the only stallion on record pace in 2024/25. Swettenham Stud’s Toronado recently brought up his century in record time. He currently sits third when it comes to total Australian winners with 106. At the same point last season, he had 77, while two years ago it was only 59.
His rise, in terms of the volume of winners, has been one of the under-the-radar trends of the 2024/25 season. He remains on track to easily eclipse his previous overall seasonal best for Australian winners of 145, set last season
His total runners have also increased significantly, 212 at this point last season as compared to 273 currently, as he benefits from the big books he received in 2019 (197) and 2020 (210).
Unlike the four others to have reached the century mark this year, Toronado has had no assistance from his current two-year-old crop, only one of which has hit the track. A total of 27 of his winners are from his three-year-old crop while 79, including his three stakes winners in Australia this year, are four and older.
Unsurprisingly given it is where he is based, the majority of Toronado’s winners have been in Victoria, with 62 individual horses represented, 59 per cent of his overall total.
What is a quirk is that the most successful trainer in Australia this season when it comes to the progeny of Toronado has been Queensland-based Tony Gollan, with seven wins from two horses led by Torabella, who registered her fifth win of the season at Doomben on Saturday.
Less startling is that Gollan is also the most successful trainer of the progeny of Spirit Of Boom this season, with 23 wins from 18 individual horses across 2024/25 to date. Of Spirit Of Boom’s 100 Australian winners, 81 have been in Queensland.
So You Think became the sixth sire to notch the century of Australian winners when So Nataya won at Bunbury on Sunday. It is his seventh straight season of breaking that barrier, but by far his quickest ton, as he chases down his seasonal best of 149.
The other three stallions to have reached the century are familiar names, I Am invincible, Zoustar and Written Tycoon.
It is the seventh season in a row that I Am Invincible has reached the 100-winner mark by the halfway point of the season. He is currently on 123, which is 13 more than he had at this point of last season when he finished with 175.
Zoustar is on 121, nine fewer than he had halfway through last season when he equalled I Am Invincible’s record mark of 208 winners. Both have had slightly fewer runners – Vinnie 287 compared to 294 and Zoustar 298 compared to 300 – to the same point.
Both are trying to chase down Pride Of Dubai – currently on $17.2 million progeny earnings – for the Australian sires championship, with Zoustar on $14.5 million and I Am Invincible on $12.1 million.
Fourth overall, and fourth when it comes to winners, is Written Tycoon.
The Yulong resident has 105 Australian winners, which is nine more than he had at the same point of last season, although in the four previous seasons before that, he had cracked the century by halfway through the campaign.
Written Tycoon’s number of Australian runners has increased by around 10 per cent from 249 to 276 so far this season. All that growth has been from his current three-year-old crop, conceived during his one season at Arrowfield. His three-year-old runners to this point of the season have grown from 54 to 86 and his winners from 21 to 39.
As far as our records go back, there has never been a season where six stallions have surpassed 100 Australian winners by this point. Last season to this point, it was three, while it was two in the previous five seasons before that.
Deep Field (92), Snitzel (92) and Capitalist (91) are all poised to mark the milestone soon, while Better Than Ready, who had five individual winners across Australia on Saturday, is on 87, as is Dundeel.

Breednet.com – Tara Madgwick – Tuesday January 7
Queensland farm Daandine Stud have bred and sold a lot of good horses including Golden Slipper and Magic Millions 2YO Classic winning sire Capitalist and a mare they purchased at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale in 2023 for $250,000 produced a great result for them on Tuesday at the Gold Coast.
$400,000 Toronado (IRE) colt from Write the Score.
Lot 103, a flashy chestnut colt by Toronado (IRE) from Write the Score caught the eye of all the good judges and was duly knocked down to the Hong Kong Jockey Club for $400,000.
He is the first foal of young Written Tycoon mare Write the Score, who was purchased on the advice of Boomer Bloodstock in foal to Toronado with the star colt the result of the mating.
Write the Score was bought for $250,000 at MM National Broodmare Sale.
From the family of Group I winners Yell, Microphone and Holler, Write the Score had no foal last year after missing in 2023, but is now in foal to Russian Revolution.
Archie Alexander has Group 1 autumn ambitions with Somewhere, who will go for a break after a bold third in last Saturday’s G2 Sandown Guineas.
The son of Puissance De Lune made a big impression on debut at Ballarat and lost zero admirers stepping straight up to Stakes level at start two.
Settling midfield under John Allen, Somewhere was stuck behind a wall of horses when the sprint came on around the bend, but let down superbly once in some daylight.
Even without the clearest passage home, the gelding flashed home to pinch third on the line and while there is a natural element of frustration after the luckless run, Alexander was delighted with Somewhere’s big effort.
The Ballarat-based trainer said that Somewhere had come through the run well, but had certainly left everything on the track and will now head to Nagambie for a spell.
“He’s good, but you know he’s had a race, he tried so hard. He slept well on Saturday night and he did us really proud,” he said.
“There’s always a little frustration when you don’t win, just with the way the race turned out. Johnny (Allen) did nothing wrong, he had him in a nice spot, we just never got the smooth run we needed.
“But to go from a maiden to a Group 2 and run that well, we were chuffed. He’ll go back to Gerry Ryan’s farm tomorrow for a little break.”
Nothing is yet set in stone but, on the limited evidence available, Alexander said the G1 Australian Guineas could be a suitable target next campaign.
Though Alexander expects Somewhere to get slightly further over time, he is keen to see what he can do over a mile on the spacious Flemington track.
“We’ll bring him back in the autumn with no solid plans, but you’d think maybe the Australian Guineas at Flemington might be a good goal,” he said.
“He’s probably looking for a bit further than the mile – the 1800-2000 metres might be where he ends up – but a big track and a solid mile would really suit him.”
Alexander will likely have two runners for his local cup meeting on Saturday, with Prince Eric in the McKellar Mile and Bizot in the VOBIS Gold Eureka Stockade (1200m).
Prince Eric will be second-up in Australia after a solid third in the Donald Cup, while Bizot has had a slight freshen up after two Stakes runs, including a third placing at Caulfield two back.
“Hopefully it’s a good day, only two runners, but two horses that should go really well,” he said.
Resolute Racing’s Woodshauna gives Al Shaqab’s Wooded a first Group 1 winner
Woodshauna provided his sire Wooded with a first Group 1 winner when springing a surprise in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville. The Francis Graffard-trained three-year-old was carrying the colours of John Stewart’s Resolute Racing for the first time, with the operation having bought the colt for £625,000 from Al Shaqab at last month’s Goffs […]
