Why This Colt Stands Out
Champion Sire Line
CHAMPION 1st & 2nd Season Sire, leading his competitors across the board in Earnings, Winners & Stakes Wins both seasons. The only other living stallion to achieve this was EXCEED AND EXCEL & TOO DARN HOT
A Top 10 Sire on the Australian General Sires Table for winners in 2025/26
Multiple Group 1 Winner of the Oakleigh Plate & Galaxy – joining his great grandsire Snippets as the only two horses in HISTORY to complete the Galaxy/Oakleigh Plate double
Defeated champion sprinter Redzel in the Group 1 Galaxy in just his 6th career start
7 wins from 9 starts at stakes level and above
Won the Oakleigh Plate just like his sire Snitzel and great grandsire Snippets
“He’s absolutely one of the quickest horses we have ever trained.” – Peter Snowden
Strong Physical Type
What a physical specimen he is too. Good sized with more to come, strong bone and what good length of hip he has that leads into his very strong powerful hindquarter driven by a big muscular gaskin. He moves across the ground strong and effortlessly and there looks like so much more to come!
We were attracted to him not just by his outstanding BLUEBLOOD family or his outstanding physique but his breeze up not only showed he is quick but the way he went about it still not knowing what he was doing but still able to breeze up in 10.32 sec with so much more up his sleeve.
Proven Dam Family
A mare from an absolute Blueblood Family – CHAMPAGNE TASTES was a two – time winner over sprint distances 1100m / 1200mm by Champion Racehorse / Sire SPIRIT OF BOOM. CHAMPAGNE TASTES is a ½ sis to stakes filly Cafe Royal (f Snitzel). 8 wins–3 in succession–1200m to 1400m, $261,370, ATC Blue Point at Darley H., 3d GCTC Silk Stocking H., Listed.etc.

BROODMARE SIRE – SPIRIT OF BOOM
Champion Queensland stallion Spirit Of Boom (dec) have begun producing stakes winners at a quick rate. Though his broodmare career is still in its relatively early stages, his daughters are making a clear impact on the track with several notable black-type performers.
Prominent stakes-winning progeny produced by Spirit Of Boom mares include:
• Hi Barbie: A stakes winner • Rich On Bubbles: A black-type stakes winner
In addition to these winners, his daughters have also produced highly regarded stakes-class runners like Stoli Bolli and Exceed the Boom, establishing the late Eureka Stud stallion as an emerging, potent force in the Australian broodmare sire ranks
Dosage Summary
The Russian Revolution × Champagne Tastes ’24 colt has a heavily speed-oriented dosage profile with Speed 79.41%,
Classic 20.59%, and Stamina 0%. The Dosage Index (DI) of 8.71
indicates a strong speed preference (5–7f), while the Centre of
Distribution (CD) of 1.09 reinforces a speed bias.
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION OVER SPIRIT OF BOOM MARES
The Local Speed Cross
Spirit of Boom mares are an excellent physical and commercial suit, targeting sharp, precocious, and early-maturing Australian 2-year-olds.
• Sprinting Consolidation: Both horses are defined by lightning-fast, high-octane Australian speed. Spirit of Boom mares are renowned for throwing incredibly robust, strong-bodied foals with great bone. This physical substance aligns perfectly with Russian Revolution’s build.
• Commercial Appeal: Commercial breeders love this cross because it produces highly marketable yearlings. In recent sales, Russian Revolution colts out of fast QLD/local speed lines have commanded strong six-figure bids at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Sales.
• Line Breeding Compatibility: Spirit of Boom brings in Sequalo and Iglesia (from the Last Tycoon line). This neatly bypasses excessive Danehill inbreeding, allowing a cleaner, high-energy outcross while keeping the physical profile firmly aimed at early sprinting trips.
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION OVER MARES CARRYING HUSSONET
The Elite Blue-Chip Match
Hussonet mares are an exceptional, proven suit for Russian Revolution because they replicate one of the most explosive nicking combinations in modern Australian racing history.
• The Extreme Choice Blueprint: Russian Revolution’s sire, Snitzel, when crossed with Hussonet mares, produced the sensational Extreme Choice. Extreme Choice is out of Extremely (by Hussonet). Sending a Hussonet mare to Russian Revolution essentially captures that exact same genetic framework (Snitzel line + Hussonet).
• Current Success: The nick is already producing consistent city-level success. A prime example is the multiple-winning gelding Before The War (Russian Revolution x Lady Antebellum by Hussonet), alongside multiple individual winners like Stop The Tape.
• The Mr. Prospector Factor: Hussonet infuses elite Mr. Prospector line blood, which acts as a great balancing line to the extensive Danehill line influence typically found in Russian Revolution’s maternal side.
