Spirit Of Boom 3YO opens account

Nedelin lacks experience but not talent as he showed when successful at Tauherenikau.

The son of Spirit Of Boom was sent south by trainer Andrew Forsman for his second start and our homebred and raced three-year-old wound up strongly in the closing stages to score over 1000 metres under Craig Grylls.

“He did a lot wrong and tracked a decent speed and then really put in for Craig in the last furlong,” Forsman’s Racing Manager Joe Walker said.

“He can be hard to get a line on at home, he saves his best for trials and race day.”

Fifth on debut at Te Aroha last month, he settled a handy fourth away from the fence and despite laying in down the home straight was too good for his older rivals.

Nedelin is the first foal of the I Am Invincible mare A Proper Lady, who has a yearling colt by Hello Youmzain and recently produced another son of our shuttle stallion.

The dam is out of a half-sister to Group 3 winners Gotta Have Heart and Swear and former stakes-winning juvenile Crossyourheart.

Also featuring on the pedigree page is the G1 Hong Kong Sprint winner All Thrills Too and the G2 Roya Stakes winner and Group 1 performer Adaline.
