Aquis’ Real Bonus For Buyers And Breeders Extends To NZ Karaka Sale

Media Release - Thursday January 16

Off the back of how well received the Aquis First Season Sire Bonus Scheme was at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale on the Gold Coast, Aquis is set to offer the bonus at the upcoming 2020 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale.

Rewarding not only the purchasers of the yearling, but the breeder as well, the lucrative Bonus Scheme will see the purchase price paid back to the buyer of any Divine Prophet yearling who wins any Saturday metropolitan race at Ellerslie Racecourse or Trentham Racecourse in New Zealand, or any metropolitan Saturday winner in Sydney or Melbourne up until the 2021 Karaka Million.

With the breeder playing such an integral part they too will be rewarded, securing a A$50,000 bonus should the Divine Prophet yearling purchased adhere to the above winning criteria.

“The bonus scheme has been developed with the purpose of assisting and rewarding those who support Aquis,” said Aquis CEO Tony (Tubba) Williams.

“We were really pleased with how the market embraced the Bonus during the recent Magic Millions and we’re looking forward to offering it at the New Zealand Bloodstock yearling sales in the coming weeks.”

For further information, please contact Tony (Tubba) Williams on +61 428 932 663.
