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.
15 yearlings in the MM March draft are by the Raheen based sire Heroic Valour, a G1 winning son of Fastnet Rock that is proving a fine source of QTIS winners siring 28 winners in Australia this season as well as winners in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Philippines. He had five winners just last weekend!
