Boom To Bust was backed as if defeat were out of the question in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden at Bellewstown and the attractive looking odds-on shot got the job done with the minimum of fuss under Johnny Murtagh.

Another Big Bad Bob winner off the Anamoine Limited production line, this three-year-old soon led and he asserted in the final furlong to comfortably beat Good Lord Byron by four lengths with his only market-rival Diamond Daze three lengths back in third.

Shane Lyons, representing winning trainer, his brother Ger, said: "He deserved to do that based on his Down Royal run (2nd 26 days ago). Johnny went a nice gallop on him and he said that he showed a lot of speed. That gives us the option of dropping him back to seven furlongs as well.

"Anything he does this year is a bonus as he should be better again next year. We'll have some fun with him."
