Aquis Farm Announce Stallions

Media Release - Friday May 27
Queensland based Aquis Farm is pleased to announce the acquisition of two high-class stallions to stand at the emerging stud farm along with the 2016 southern hemisphere standing rights to Coolmore's Holy Roman Emperor giving breeders access to some of the best bloodlines in the stud book.

A dual Group One-winning two-year-old son of Danehill (Danzig), Holy Roman Emperor has sired 54 stakes winners to date headed by his Group One winners Designs On Rome, Mongolian Khan, Rollout The Carpet, Rich Tapestry, Homecoming Queen and Morandi.



He will stand his first season at Aquis Farm for $9,900 (inc GST).

Silver Slipper Stakes (Gr 2, 1100m) winner Domesday meanwhile has sired 12 stakes winners so far including his TJ Smith (Gr 1, 1600m)-winning son Pressday and Spring Champion Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) winner Doctor Doom. 



He will stand for a fee of $8,800 (inc GST).

Benfica, winner of the TJ Smith Stakes, completes the roster and will stand his first season at stud in Queensland for a fee of $4,400 (inc GST).



Benfica's first crop are two-year-olds this season and to date he has sired two winners from six runners including the Inglis 2YO Challenge (1100m) winner Barbass.

"In line with our commitment to acquiring select quality broodmares; Holy Roman Emperor, Domesday and Benfica offer the physical, racing and genetic attributes required to launch our stallion roster at a commercial level," said Marcus Langer who has recently been appointed as the chief operations officer at Aquis Farm.

Purchased by the Fung family in January 2015, Aquis Farm is a 447-hectare thoroughbred racing, boarding and breeding facility at Canungra on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

The Farm's state-ofthe-art training facilities have been expertly restored and the farm caters for more than 80 horses in training with private grass and sand training tracks and a restored water walker as well as lap pools.

Aquis Farm has a firm commitment to Queensland racing and breeding, and to the Australian thoroughbred industry as a whole with plans to extend its brand to facilitate the continued growth of the Queensland racing industry and these stallion acquisitions form a significant part of this strategy.
