2020 Aquis Stallions

PIERATA 2


We have further cemented our position in Victoria with one of the most exciting new stallions to debut in the state, Invincible Spirit’s Group 1-winning, unbeaten 2YO son, Royal Meeting (IRE). Also new to our Victorian roster is Group 1-producing sire Needs Further, in partnership with Armidale Stud. Dubious, the fastest-ever winner of the Breeders’ Plate and son of all-conquering Not A Single Doubt, will stand his debut season in Queensland along with our exciting import and

French Champion 2YO, Olmedo (FR). Established Group 1-winning and producing sire Duporth will also relocate to Aquis’ Queensland base. In the sale rings, Divine Prophet had an outstanding season with his first crop yearlings selling extremely well and we look forward to the new racing season to see them step out.

Sadly, we lost the Fung family’s foundation stallion Spill The Beans very suddenly in November, and while he will be forever missed, his first crop runners continue to do him proud on the track, he is currently leading first crop sire by winners.

The continued support from our clients, partners and friends within the industry has been overwhelming, aiding in Aquis’ commitment and passion towards strengthening our position within the industry. We wish you every success with your breeding plans in the upcoming season, and as always, the Aquis team is here to support you in your endeavours.

In what has certainly been a challenging year globally for the thoroughbred industry, we look to the future with excitement, as we launch the 2020 season, headlined by our Gr.1 All Aged Stakes winner Pierata, who will stand alongside another son of Pierro; his only Group-winning 2YO colt, Bellevue Hill in New South Wales.

2020

A

quis will stand our largest ever roster of stallions in 2020. Across our three bases in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, the 19 strong roster gives our valued clients and breeders access to the best bloodlines available in Australasia, at fees we consider real value.

“Dubious was the most professional 2YO I have trained. He had it all; temperament, soundness and speed. He was extremely tough with the most amazing constitution and that enabled us to travel him all around Australia to race, including a WFA Gr.1 as a 2YO. I can’t wait to get my hands on his yearlings when they get to the sales. If they are as tough and big hearted as he is, they’ll be winning plenty of races.”

the only Gr.1-winning unbeaten 2YO by Sire of Sires’ Invincible Spirit from a Danehill-free pedigree

“Through the success of the likes of his granddaughter Oohood and his close relative Pride Of Dubai, I know firsthand the positive influence of Invincible Spirit as a stallion… He [Royal Meeting] is unique in being the only unbeaten Gr.1-winning 2YO son of his sire, while his dam, was also an unbeaten Gr.1-winning 2YO. In a country where speed and precocity are so important, I am looking forward to giving him the opportunity with suitable mares from my broodmare band and am excited by the prospect of what he might be capable of achieving as a stallion.”

CO-Champion

2YO colt of his generation & Snitzel’s highest Timeform rated 2YO

“He was a stand-out! Invader was a well-made, strong, short coupled colt as a yearling. An attractive colt with power, he caught the eye. He had the look of a two-year-old, which I was after. He proved this with his Gr.1 two-year-old victory in the Sires’ Produce. I look forward to seeing his progeny in coming years.”

“The Invader foals we have on our farm are all good legged, good bodied foals, that have developed into cracking weanlings. They are sharp, athletic foals with great presence and balance. We will definitely be sending mares back to Invader this year on the strength of his weanlings.”

Verna Metcalfe

“We are over the moon with the Invader foals we have on the ground. So much so, we sent a number of mares back to him last season. They are standouts.”

“That was some scalp to knock off Capitalist… in a lot of ways Kiss And Make Up was an untapped talent, but clearly the ability was there. We were prepared to take a punt on him as a sire and this [Queen Of Kariba ‘18] colt… we are going to give him every chance and on looks I would suggest he’s going to be a precocious horse.”

“If the game is about precociousness and speed then: he’s by the right sire - World Champion 2YO sire Exceed and Excel; he’s out of the right mare- a Gr.1 producing Snippets mare; he’s the right type; he won the right race; and he now has the right opportunity.”

“Performer has a great presence about him. He’s a really good mover with nice length... definitely worth sending a mare to. He’s got the scope that would enable breeders to send compact mares to him, but I honestly think that he would suit any type of mare, such is his overall physique.” 64

In memory of the Fung familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation stallion Spill The Beans 8 October 2012 - 1 November 2019

Spill The BEans

S

adly, and unexpectedly passing away on 1 November 2019, Spill The Beans’ first crop runners commenced the season in outstanding fashion.

As the first son of Champion Sire Snitzel to stand at stud in Queensland, Spill The Beans covered over 600 mares in just three and a half seasons.

Spill The Beans leads the way with 13 individual winners*, more than any other first crop sire this season, and more than his own multiple Champion Sire Snitzel achieved in Australia from his first crop. Highlighted by multiple winners Tumbler Ridge, Bangers And Mayo, Cosmic Gossip and Tennessee Boy, Spill The Beans’ progeny are looking to continue the legacy of their exciting young sire. Ending his career on a high with a brilliant victory over the older sprinters in the Gr.2 BRC QTC Cup at Eagle Farm, Spill The Beans was fast, precocious and consistent, pleasing his trainer Gerald Ryan at every turn. Bred by the iconic Australian stallion producing farm Arrowfield Stud, Spill The Beans had the all-important natural ability to match his well-constructed stallion’s pedigree. A son of the sire sensation and multiple Champion Sire Snitzel, Spill The Beans has all the makings to be a successful influence in Australasia.

“It’s always devastating to lose a stallion, but with

Spill The Beans we felt we had something very special. As one of the first stallions secured to stand at Aquis,

Shane McGrath

Aquis Managing Director, on behalf of the Fung family

he had a special place in the hearts of the entire team.”

Headlined by the stunning victory of Farnan in the Gr.1 ATC Golden Slipper (1200m), Aquis’ 2019/2020 racing season has been an exceptional period for our more than 50 racing partners. The opportunity to race the outstanding 2YO colt, Farnan in partnership with breeder Phoenix Thoroughbreds, trained in the leading stable of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, to success in the stallion-making Golden Slipper was an enormous thrill for the Aquis community and all involved with the very special colt. As one of the most exciting race days in the country, Mrs Loretta Fung has been part of the excitement that the Magic Millions race day has to offer, and this season enjoyed success as one of the partners of the women-only raced Away Game, a sensational winner of the race, who a handful of starts later went on to claim second in the Golden Slipper behind Farnan. The ownership group of Away Game, that was formed by Hannah Mathiesen, not only celebrated the race win, but secured the lucrative

Racing Women’s Bonus, giving Mrs Fung three consecutive wins of the bonus after the prior prize victories of Dubious and Sunlight. Enjoying success with Farnan, Aquis and Phoenix Thoroughbreds have been fortunate to race some very talented colts this season including dual Group 3-winning, Group 1 runner-up Prague as well as the Gr.3 ATC Schweppervescene Stakes winner Holyfield. Fellow Queensland breeders; Ron and Debbie Gilbert of Highgrove Stud, joined Aquis to race their homebred colt Global Quest, who proved too classy when winning one of the opening juvenile races of the season, the Gr.3 ATC Breeders’ Plate. Trained by Chris Waller, also the trainer of Performer, a previous winner of the Breeders’ Plate who now stands at Aquis, Global Quest is raced by great supporters and friends of Aquis in Gary and Vera Diamond’s G1G Racing and Breeding, Dorrington Farm and Glentree Racing. Without our racing partners and long-term clients, the journey to success would not have made the season such a memorable and rewarding experience.

ith the overriding philosophy of experiencing the thrill of racing with our myriad of partners, Aquis’ extremely successful season wouldn’t be possible without the support of our friends and clients involved in each of our horses.
