The upcoming 2020 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale, gets underway on 26th January 2020.

Off the back of how well received the Aquis First Season Sire Bonus Scheme was at last weeks Magic Millions Yearling Sale on the Gold Coast, Aquis will offer the same bonus at the upcoming 2020 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale, which gets underway on January 26. 

Rewarding not only the purchasers of the yearling, but the breeder as well, the lucrative Bonus Scheme will see the purchase price paid back to the buyer of any Divine Prophet (Choisir) yearling who wins any Saturday metropolitan race at Ellerslie or Trentham in New Zealand, or any metropolitan Saturday winner in Sydney or Melbourne up until the 2021 Karaka Million. 

With the breeder playing such an integral part they too will be rewarded, securing a A$50,000 bonus should the Divine Prophet yearling purchased adhere to the above winning criteria. 

"The bonus scheme has been developed with the purpose of assisting and rewarding those who support Aquis," said Aquis CEO Tony (Tubba) Williams. 

"We were really pleased with how the market embraced the Bonus during the recent Magic Millions and we're looking forward to offering it at the New Zealand Bloodstock yearling sales in the coming weeks."

The stallion has six lots catalogued at Karaka 2020. 

Divine Prophet sold all eight of this yearling offered during Book 1 on the Gold Coast for an aggregate of $1,705,000 at an average of $213,125, while during Book 2 all three of his yearlings sold, including the fourth highest priced lot of the session, after Makybe Racing & Breeding went to $230,000 for a filly from the KBL Thoroughbreds drafts.
