As a descendant of the broodmare La Troienne, Boucher was a member of the Thoroughbred Family 1-x, which has produced numerous important winners including Buckpasser, Easy Goer and Allez France.
[2] In the St Leger at Doncaster, Boucher started at odds of 3/1 against six opponents, with the Irish Derby winner, Steel Pulse, being made the 9/4 favourite.
The race was run on extremely soft ground and the winning time of 3:28.71 was the slowest recorded at Doncaster in the 20th century.
[7] Boucher was sold for A$530,000[8] to the Australian breeder John Kelly exported to stand as a stallion at the Newhaven Park Stud in New South Wales.
[9] He sired several good winners including Lawman (Doncaster Handicap), Been There (Silver Slipper Stakes) and Mr Independent (Carlyon Cup).The last of Boucher's foals were born in 1987.
