QTIS BONANAZA
FEBRUARY QTIS PREMIERS
Half way through the racing season already and the battle for the QTIS Premiership titles is heating up.
Aimee, (pictured, Dan Costello Racing) by Wattle Brae Stud sire Exceddingly Good, had a clear lead for the 2yo QTIS Runners by Earnings for February, collecting $52,500 in bonus cash for the month. Sarisara, by Eureka Stud’s Champion Stallion Red Dazzler was second after earning $24,500 and Glenlogan Park’s stallion Falvelon sired the third top earner, I Am Boss, who won $10,500 in QTIS bonus prizemoney last month.
That’s resulted in some changes to the 2yo Earnings for the Season. No Problem, by Glenlogan Park sire Real Saga, remains on the top of the table for the second consecutive month with a total of $56,000 in QTIS bonuses. But Aimee has raced into second position with $52,500. She’s pushed former front runners, Celestial Dragon, Setfire to Therain and Stroak into third position. They’ve been joined by Sarisara following her good wins last month.
The progeny of Eureka Stud sire Red Dazzler dominate the 3yo QTIS Runners on Earnings for February with Casarati leading the way after collecting $28,000 in QTIS bonuses over the past four weeks.
Former Wattle Brae sire Court Command’s top runner, Total Authority is second with $24,500 while another former promising Queensland sire, Hotel Grand  claimed third spot thanks to his boom galloper Secret Harmony.
Despite those good efforts, there was no change to the top five positions for 3yo QTIS Runners on Earnings for the season with Queen of the Lochs (Bradbury’s Luck) remaining on top followed by Hot Saga (Real Saga), Bodegra Negra (Hidden Dragon), Londehero (Lonhro) and Spelndora (Jet Spur).
In the Trainer’s categories, Noel Doyle was the top 2yo QTIS Trainer on Earnings for February after banking $52,500 in QTIS bonuses, Peter Fleming was once again runner-up on $30,200 and Rex Lipp rounded out the trifecta for the second consecutive month.
There were three new faces for the 3yo Trainers on Earnings for February. Bruce Hill leads the ladder on $28,000 followed by Paul Facoory with $24,500 and the 2013 QTIS Premiership Winner, Kelly Schweida was third with $17,500.
QTIS GRADUATES CONTINUE WINNING STREAK
Another massive week for QTIS Graduates, chasing $169,000 in QTIS bonus prizemoney this week with 11 QTIS races allocated across the State.
I Am Boss (pictured Dan Costello Racing) raced away with $56,500 in prizemoney thanks to the QTIS bonus. If he wasn’t QTIS eligible he would have only collected $32,000 for the win in the $85,000 QTIS 2yo Handicap at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
 
Londehero also took home $56,500 thanks to the QTIS bonus in the $85,000 QTIS 3yo Handicap at Eagle Farm. In the Sky Rocket banked $17,000 instead of $10,000 thanks to QTIS and $8,500 went to Hit the Road Jack, thanks to a $3,500 boost by QTIS.
 
The QTIS bonus saw prizemoney increase from $10,000 to $22,000 atTownsville, Rockhampton, Toowoomba, Mackay, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
And if you’ve been missing all this bonus prizemoney you can change that by purchasing a QTIS yearling from the Magic Millions Sale on the Gold Coast on March 17 & 18.
