Pinhook Successes from Aquis’ 2017 Weanling Drafts

Media Release - Sunday April 15
2018 has seen yearling vendors achieve great pin-hooking successes and turnover some very handsome profits selling yearlings that were purchased from Aquis' 2017 weanling drafts. 




At this year's Inglis Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale Aquis offers a draft of weanlings that has the potential to again deliver some great results for buyers.

Aquis are here to meet the buyers' market – as evidenced by our recent high clearance rates at both the Easter Yearling Sale (15 of 16 Lots sold), and the Chairmans Breeding Prospects Sale (4 of 5 Lots sold) – but above all else we wish to see our clients and supporters achieve continued success with our sale graduates.
Futooh is a half-sister to the dam of Lot 122
With this in mind we invite you to inspect our 2017 weanling draft at barn J, which includes Lot 122, a filly by Epaulette out of Bella Epoch (Street Cry).

On Saturday Lot 122 achieved a significant pedigree update when Bella Epoch's 2YO half-sister Futooh ran out an impressive winner of the Listed China Horse Club Mile at Randwick for owners Shadwell Stud Australasia and trainers David & Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig.

Please drop into the Aquis marquee at the Inglis Sales complex to have a chat with one of our team about our Broodmare and Weanling draft.
