Boom mare bags Group win

Dance To The Boom has further boosted her future broodmare value with her latest Melbourne Cup Day success at Flemington and with the promise of more to come for our daughter of Exceedance.

Expertly managed by trainer Bjorn Baker, the four-year-old continued her hot run of form this preparation when she claimed top honours in the G3 Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes over 1400 metres at Flemington.

It was the sternest test of her career off the back of consecutive wins on the Kensington track at Randwick and at Warwick Farm and she passed with flying colours.

“She’s under-rated and had an awkward gate, but she was tough at the end,” Baker said.

“She’s won six out of nine now and you don’t do that if you haven’t got a bit of ticker, she’s a good mare.”

Dance To The Boom has been ridden to her last two victories by Kerrin McEvoy.

“She’s a mare in really good form and I’ve been lucky enough to team up with her,” he said.

Dance To The Boom drew one from the outside and overcame that potential barrier to success in fine style.

“She’s very genuine and off that gate I went forward, I knew she’d have a finish and that’s exactly what she had.

“She got her toe into the ground, and she really loved it.”

We secured Dance To The Boom out of breeder Rosemont Stud’s draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for A$250,000.

She is the first foal of the unraced I Am Invincible mare Bim Bam Boom, who is a half-sister to the G1 Easter Handicap winner Albany Reunion and the Listed Champagne Stakes winner and top-flight placegetter Fast Dragon.
