Banchory Stud is celebrating after their star sire Seidnazar (pictured) recorded his first black-type performer last week.

The Brett Cavanough trained Price Of Glory was pipped at the post in the Listed Albury Gold Cup 0n Friday, beaten a short half head.

The consistent performer, by Seidnazar out of a Rubiton mare, Princess Eliza, has won eight races ranging from 1300 metres to 2010 metres. He was also an unlucky fourth in the Albury Cup last year.

Price Of Glory’s full sister, Price Of Fame, won the first of the day of the Albury Gold Cup meeting, almost making it a double for the family!

It capped off a good week for Banchory after Freton, owned by Fred Brown, won the ‘no metro win’ race over a mile at Eagle Farm last Saturday. Freton is by another consistent Banchory sire, Markane.

Connections once again reaped the rewards of owning a QTIS horse with $155,000 in bonus prizemoney available on eleven races this week.

Second and third placegetters also benefit from QTIS, In the Sky Rocket took home $17,000 rather than $10,000 for second place and Neuschwanstein’s prize money jumped from $5,000 to $8,500 for third.

McConachy, Dazzle On and Shekou all saw prizemoney increases at Townsville last Tuesday with QTIS taking the 3yo Hcp to $22,000 as opposed to $10,000.

It was a similar story in Mackay on Thursday, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast on Saturday and the Sunshine Coast on Sunday while $27,000, rather than $17,000 was up for grabs at Eagle Farm on Wednesday in the 3yo C&G Maiden Plate.

On the country circuit, Monto, Longreach and Emerald all had their prizemoney more than double from $5,000 to $11,000 thanks to the QTIS bonuses.
