Aquis Making Magic

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 2
In a short space of time Aquis Farm have made serious inroads into all facets of the Australian bloodstock industry with a clear demonstration of their success and commitment coming at the Gold Coast this month with three Aquis Farm purchased and syndicated fillies to run in the $2million Magic Millions 2YO Classic.

Sunlight is one of three MM 2YO Classic runners co-purchased and syndicated by Aquis Farm Flying the flag for Aquis are Secret Lady (2f Choisir x For Your Eyes Only, purchased for $150,000), Singular Sensation (2f Not a Single Doubt x Tiffin, purchased for $250,000) and Sunlight (2f Zoustar x Solar Charged, purchased for $300,000).

The Tony McEvoy trained Sunlight was brilliant in winning at the Gold Coast on December 23 and is set to round off her preparation with a run in the Follow Aquis Farm on Twitter 2YO Handicap (1100m) at the same venue on Saturday.

Aquis was instrumental in purchasing and syndicating all three fillies, who are all raced by women and therefore eligible for the lucrative $500,000 women's bonus.

Aquis Farm will also return to Magic Millions as vendors in 2018, building on the success they enjoyed in 2017 when achieving 100% clearance in Book One to sell 17 yearlings for $3,455,000 with the highlight a Medaglia D'Oro (USA) colt from Sangfroid that made $1milllion.

Aquis will offer a stunning draft of 25 yearlings by a wide variety of leading sires and first season favourites such as Deep Field, Dissident and Rubick.

Half-brother to Golden Slipper winner Sepoy by I Am InvincibleAn obvious standout on pedigree is Lot 435, offered on behalf of Emirates Park, the half-brother by I Am Invincible to Golden Slipper winner and Champion 2YO Sepoy.

Now a Group I producing sire, Sepoy won 10 races and over $3.8 million claiming four Group I victories and is the best of five winners from Watchful, who is also the dam of Group II winner Mulaazem.

It's also the family of Group I winners Camarena, Camarilla and Guelph, going back further to another Golden Slipper winner in Canny Lad and his multiple Group I winning sister Canny Lass.
