About
About To Explode, a 5yo brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Tony Gollan. His sire is Spirit of Boom and his dam is About Ready. To date he has recorded five career victories. His biggest triumph came on 6 Sep 2025 at Doomben, where he captured the $85,000 Bm78 Handicap. Punters have found him to be a money‑maker; betting on him throughout his career would have yielded a 19% ROI.
