$1million Breeder Bonus Challenge

Media Release - Thursday June 28

Aquis has unveiled one of the world’s largest-ever breeder bonus schemes, with $1 million on offer for any progeny of debut sire The Mission that wins a 2YO Group 1 in Australia, or for any 2YO who wins the $2,000,000 Magic Millions 2YO Classic at Aquis Park or the $2,000,000 Inglis 2YO Millennium at Warwick Farm during their 2YO racing season.

The $1,000,000 Breeder Bonus Challenge celebrates the fact that The Mission is the first Champion 2YO to retire to stud in Queensland in over a decade. The scheme includes bonus payments of between $25,000 and $1,000,000 for any 2YO winner from The Mission’s first crop.

Aquis is also showing its continued support and commitment to the Australian thoroughbred racing and breeding industries by donating 10% of all bonus pay-outs to industry-related charities.

"It is important to acknowledge that we in the racing industry are all part of a wider community and we have an obligation to look after those less fortunate than ourselves,” Aquis CEO Shane McGrath said.

"At Aquis we are grateful to be part of a thriving industry that is in a position to give generously to those in need, whether that be improving services within our local community, supporting our farmers in times of drought, helping to improve support networks for stud and stable staff, or ensuring that our much-loved racehorses are given the opportunity to be re-trained and re-homed once they retire from racing.”

Aquis secured The Mission to stand in 2018 at its Queensland property at Canungra to provide local breeders with a stallion that has speed and commerciality while also complementing the bloodlines that are particularly prevalent in the Queensland broodmare population.

The Mission was an outstanding juvenile and Co-Champion 2YO in Australia in 2016-17. An extremely precocious son of Choisir, The Mission debuted in the Listed Breeders’ Plate before rounding out his 2YO season with victory in the Group One Champagne Stakes - beating none other than the Co-Champion 2YO, and Group One Sires’ Produce Stakes winner Invader.

The Mission possesses some of the most prepotent bloodlines found in Champion stallions – he is inbred to Danehill via his sensational Champion Sire sons Danehill Dancer and Redoute’s Choice, while his grandam is the Group One Champagne Stakes winner Carry On Cutie, by Champion Sire More Than Ready.
