Strength in Numbers

Tara Madgwick - Monday Sep 7

A Group I winner in Hong Kong, young Aquis sire Stronger is the most represented sire at the Magic Millions Horses in Training Sale with 12 entries and that could prove a good lead to send him a mare this spring with Aquis offering an additional incentive.

Stronger is priced at $8,800, but if you breed a filly make that zero! - click for more info.

By proven sire of sires Not a Single Doubt, Stronger was a Group winner in Australia at two that trained on to achieve Group I success in Hong Kong winning the Centenary Sprint Cup.

He has been given good opportunity covering over 300 mares in his first three seasons at stud and is priced this spring at $8,800, but you might not have to pay!

“We’re offer a special deal with Stronger so that if you breed a filly from this year’s mating we will wipe the service fee,” said Jonathan Davies of Aquis.

“His progeny have the temperament, conformation and word is, the speed to suit Hong Kong - one of the world’s most competitive and lucrative racing and trade markets.”

The first yearlings by Stronger sold this year for up to $100,000 and there will be plenty of interest in his draft of 12 for the upcoming Magic Millions Horses in Training Sale – click here to see them.

Not a Single Doubt is the sire of freakishly good stallion Extreme Choice, now also a sire of sires, and leading young sire Farnan, both of them Group I winners on the track as was Stronger, who was a $1,050,000 Inglis Easter Yearling purchase.

On the pedigree front Stronger also hits the target being a three-quarter brother to triple Group I winner Lady Shenadoah.

Stronger represents pedigree, performance and priced to please!
