The speedy Boyd put together back-to-back victories for his connections last Friday 26/06/26 on the Ballarat Synthetic in Race 5 a BM56 over the 1000m sprint trip.

The 3-year-old son of I Am Invincible ventured across the border to avoid the rain affected tracks and from gate 1 was able to hold the rail, absorb pressure to its outside, hold the lead rounding the home turn then kicking away finding a few lengths on his rivals to hold on strongly by 1.75L under a textbook steer from veteran hoop Brad Rawiller.

Boyd was a recent online purchase and acquisition to STR, winning his first two races for the stable to generate instant results for owners old and new, which has been a thrill, particularly for the new owners to STR.

Stephen Theodore had identified that training the gelding to run 1200m would see him be stronger over the concluding stages of shorter events, that has been evident in his assignments thus far and bodes well for future placement. Boyd can utilise his liking for good tracks and his on-pace pattern to find his place at metropolitan level, particularly into the warmer months later this year and continue to be a nice little money spinner for his connections.
