Boomwaa’s win in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Maribyrnong Plate capped off a huge week for trainer, Robbie Laing.

It has been a long process in the making, first selecting yearlings from out of some of the bargain basement sales and then syndicating them.

Laing has been lucky, he has had some loyal owners that have stuck by him and are finally reaping the rewards they deserve.

The Derby winner, Polanski, is a perfect example; he has turned a $4,000 purchase into a $1.2 million stakes earner within a few months.

Now Boomwaa has appeared on the scene, a highly promising colt, he led all the way to win the Maribyrnong Plate, basically untouched.

The colt was purchased out of the Inglis Classic Sale in January for $ 43,000, and has since earned stake money of $110,000 in record time.

Boomwaa winning well

Boomwaa is eligible to run in the Inglis Classic of $250,000 at Rosehill, in January, he is the most promising two year old to go through the stable, and likely to get further.

He had a bit on his opposition having raced twice previously, which is a great advantage in windy conditions.

His sire, Mutawaajid, by Redoute’s Choice, from Elated Lady, by Vain, was well above average as a racehorse, he won five races in Sydney, one of the tallest thoroughbred sires at 17.2 hands.
