He was bred by the young breeder, Noel Thompson at the Yarraman Stud, west of Scone, New South Wales.

He was then taken to Western Australia and trained by John Kelly for his two- and three-year-old racing in that state.

At their next meeting in the WATC Nursery Handicap Eurythmic was in receipt of two stone in weight and defeated his former victor by five lengths.

This pair met again in the Karrakatta Plate over five furlongs, at equal weights, and Eurythmic won by 1½ lengths.

Eurythmic was then unplaced in the Claremont Handicap and concluded his first season of racing by winning the WATC Sires Produce Stakes by 3½ lengths.

In the VATC St George Stakes he conceded the second place-getter, Harvest King, more than 2 stone, and was penalised 20-pounds for his win when the weights were issued for the VATC Futurity Stakes, which he duly won carrying 10 stone 7 pounds (67 kg).

Eurythmic's prize money for this race led to him overtaking Carbine as the greatest Australian stake winner to that time.

Two of his daughters were successful broodmares though: Eurythmic was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2005.
