QUEENSLAND SIRES LEAD THE WAY
|
 |
|
Queensland stallions always perform well on the National Sires Table for Leading Sires, Leading First Season Sires and Leading 2yo Sires and so far this year that trend is continuing.
However, the statistics for Queensland stallions in the Leading 2yo Sire category is outstanding. Eleven of the top fifty 2yo Sires are based in Queensland; they include Real Saga, (pictured) Publishing, Falvelon, All Bar One, Hidden Dragon, Red Dazzler, Monashee Mountain, Jet Spur, Wicked Style, Red Element and Longhorn.
These figures would surely have to entice buyers to consider the benefits of Queensland-bred yearlings as we lead into the Magic Millions QTIS Sale on March 17 & 18.

IT PAYS TO OWN A QTIS HORSE
|
|
The statistics don’t lie and we all know the fantastic results of March QTIS Sale horses around Australia and overseas.
The 2013 March Magic Millions Sale produced more individual 2YO winners pre-Christmas than any other sale in Australia! Making it the best value sale in the country.
Not only are the results fantastic, but so is the prizemoney.
This week alone there were twelve QTIS races across Queensland, offering an extra $174,000 in prizemoney thanks to the QTIS bonuses.
Aimee (pictured, Dan Costello Racing) was one of the big winners. She collected $56,500 for winning the QTIS 2yo Hcp at Doomben on Saturday. If she wasn’t a QTIS horse, she would have only earned $24,000. That’s a big difference.
And the other placegetters are also rewarded by QTIS. Second prizemoney jumps from $10,000 to $17,000 and third from $5,000 to $8,500 all thanks to QTIS.
It’s not only Brisbane that’s catered to. QTIS took earnings from $10,000 to $22,000 at Townsville, the Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton, Beaudesert, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast with pirzemoney for all placegetters more than doubling at those venues.
And on the country circuit, at Gladstone and Miles this week, the winings went from $6,000 to $11,000 all thanks to QTIS.
It pays to own a QTIS horse and there’s plenty of top quality future stars on offer at the Magic Millions QTIS Sale on March 17 & 18.

RAHEEN’S EAGLE FLIES HOME
|
 |
|
The Raheen Stud bred, Sino Eagle (pictured) notched a win at her fourth city track when she proved too good in Saturday’s Indian Summer Handicap (1400m) at Flemington.
The Peter Moody-trained mare added Flemington to her wins at Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Sandown Lakeside when she finished powerfully to score her fifth victory in 10 outings.
Jockey Luke Nolen let Sino Eagle settle midfield early in the $80,000 contest before the daughter of Casino Prince out of Vermont Eagle (Octagonal (NZ) improved quickly to run up behind the leaders early in the straight.
Sino Eagle was bred by Raheen Stud and was passed in at the 2011 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for $21,000.
Raheen will offer Sino Eagle’s half sister by Red Element at the March QTIS Sale.

Wattle Brae Stud resident stallion Exceedingly Good (pictured) posted his second winning double in a matter of weeks when second-crop 2-year-old Aimee and first-crop 3-year-old Miss Excel both opened-up their winning account on Saturday’s programs.
Exceedingly Good was also responsible for a winning double in the last week of January when Goodos and High Degree posted Maiden Plate wins at Coff’s Harbour and Southport respectively.
Aimee, Miss Excel, Goodos and High Degree are amongst 16 daughters of Exceedingly Good to have faced the starter, seven (44% w-t-r) of which are now winners. These also include the stallion’s notable stakes-placed 2-year-old of 2012/13, Hallside Rose.
