RQ launches fillies bonus scheme

Friday 6 December 2013, 6:06pm

A bonus scheme has been announced by Racing Queensland in a bid to generate more interest in the sale of fillies at the March Magic Millions yearling sale.

RQ has joined forces with Magic Millions and Queensland thoroughbred breeders to launch a $125,000 bonus scheme spread over 25 races enabling winning owners to purchase a filly at the Gold Coast sales in March.

The scheme starts on December 14 where winning owners of the Calaway Gal Stakes, Phelan Ready Stakes and Gold Edition Plate will earn an additional $5000 in the form of a credit, provided the successful horse is QTIS registered and a Magic Millions graduate.

RQ CEO Darren Condon said there were 10 races in December and 15 in January where owners would be able to collect the bonus and reinvest in a filly at the March sales.

The bonus scheme is an attempt to spark more interest in the sale of fillies at the March sale after a downturn in prices in recent years.
