Domesday Whirlwind of Success

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 25
A member of the inaugural Aquis Farm stallion roster in Queensland last year, quiet achiever Domesday has enjoyed a whirlwind 12 months of success since then that has made him one of the best value stallions in the country.

Completely free of Danzig blood, the charismatic near black son of Red Ransom (USA) is the outcross sire that genuinely works!

Last Saturday was a red letter day for Domesday.

Daysee Doom wins the Golden PendantHe sired high class mare Daysee Doom to win the Group II ATC Golden Pendant, while the $1million Group I ATC Golden Rose was won by talented Snitzel colt Trapeze Artist, who was bred from one of his daughters Treppes.

Winner of the Group III Dark Jewel Classic at Scone in May before going for a spell, the Ron Quinton trained Daysee Doom was fit and ready to fire at her second run back from a spell.

She enjoyed a great run for Andrew Adkins to travel up in third place and powered to the line to win the 1400 metre contest by a short neck over her stablemate Dixie Blossoms.

"People were asking me if I could split them and I said I couldn't, so I wasn't far wrong," revealed Ron Quinton.

"It's onwards and upwards for both mares now with the Angst Quality (Group III on October 7) next and then we'll look at Melbourne."

Retained to race by her breeders, Daysee Doom has the impressive record of seven wins from 14 starts with prizemoney topping $676,000.

She is the only foal from stakes-placed Mister C (USA) mare See a Victory, who comes from the family of stakes-winners Cooldini and Correct Amoondo.

Daysee Doom is one of 16 stakes-winners for Domesday, who is also the sire of unbeaten three year-old colt Royal Symphony, a leading contender for the Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas next month.

The Tony McEvoy trained Royal Symphony scored a remarkable barnstorming win in the Listed VRC Pin & Win Stakes at Flemington on September 16 after overcoming trouble in the run.

He steps out this Sunday at Caulfield in the Group III MRC Guineas Prelude, where he will be seeking his fifth straight victory.

Royal Symphony and Dwayne Dunn - Grant CourtneyRoyal Symphony will be aiming to be the fourth Group I winner for his sire who has already given us Pressday, Doctor Doom and last season's runaway Queensland Derby winner Ruthven.

Domesday covered 104 mares at Aquis last spring and will cover even more this year on the back of his burgeoning spring success.

He only had a handful of spots available, so Aquis has encouraged breeders to lock in their mares before its too late.

Priced at $8,800, he is not only a value sire, but a genuine Group I sire that can deliver success at the highest level.
