Boasting is out of the Savabeel mare Touting, whose three foals to race are all winners and she is from a well-established and well-performed family.
She is a half-sister to the G3 Hawkesbury Gold Cup winner Somepin Anypin and the Listed Winter Championship winner Salsa, whose son Diamond King was successful at black-type level in South Africa.
