Lucrative QTIS bonuses are a great incentive to race in Queensland and Raheen Stud will offer a draft of 24 for the Magic Millions March Yearling Sale on the Gold Coast next Monday and Tuesday with opportunity aplenty from a respected vendor that can produce a top class horse with the current star graduate being Stretan Angel.

Consigned to the Magic Millions National Yearling Sale by Raheen Stud as agent, Stretan Angel was bought for $64,000 by Phillip Stokes/Rick Connolly Bloodstock and will be chasing G1 success this Saturday in the Group I MVRC William Reid Stakes.

A Group II winner that has banked over $1million, the Phillip Stokes trained daughter of Harry Angel (IRE) has been Group I placed at her past two starts in the VRC Lightning Stakes and Newmarket Handicap with another good showing on the cards in this 1200m WFA sprint.
