About

About To Explode is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Tony Gollan at Eagle Farm. He is by Spirit Of Boom out of About Ready. To date he has recorded five victories. On 6 Sep 2025 at Doomben he secured his most notable win, taking the $85,000 Benchmark 78 Handicap. Punters have found him rewarding; betting on him throughout his career would have delivered roughly a 19% return on investment.
