Aquis Stallion Parades – Test These Guys with Hypothetical Matings!

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 15

Aquis Stallions in Queensland opened the gates last weekend for a series of parades that will continue into this week with the stallions set to be shown again at 10am and 2pm on Wednesday and you can still register to attend here

Aquis has been the place to be for Queensland breeders in recent days!

Over 500 guests have visited Aquis in the last few days with Justin Fung in attendance and delighted by the warm response from breeders.

Justin Fung and Jonathan Davies welcome guests to Aquis.

Aquis have seven stallions on the roster this year offering a mix of the proven and promising including Invader, who sired Sunshine in Paris to win the Group I ATC Surround Stakes last season.

Invader is a G1 winner and G1 sire, click for more info.

Jonker and Glenfiddich have both let down beautifully as they prepare for their second season at stud with great anticipation for the arrival of their first foals.

Jonker is a G1 winning son of Spirit of Boom, click for more info.

Glenfiddich is a G2 winner by Fastnet Rock, click for more info.

New to the farm this year is Not a Single Doubt’s Group I winning son Stronger, who was much admired as you would expect for a horse bought as a yearling at Inglis Easter by James Harron Bloodstock for $1,050,000.

Stronger is a G1 winning son of Not a Single Doubt, click for more info.

Kobayashi is a proven son of I Am Invincible, click for more info.

A proven sire of winners by champion I Am Invincible, Kobayashi looked sensational as did Lean Mean Machine, whose flurry of late season winners will ensure his appeal this spring, while The Mission is quite clearly raring to go!

Lean Mean Machine is a G2 winning son of Zoustar, click for more info.

The Mission is the sire of G3 winner Yellow Brick, click for more info.

All Aquis stallions are Premium stallions on Breednet so are available for Hypothetical matings if any of these gorgeous guys take your fancy!
