From Breednet: It’s a fairly safe bet that, come 2.23pm Saturday, everyone associated with Aquis Farm will be either at Toowoomba racecourse or parked in front of a TV somewhere.
For the first 2YO race of the season in Queensland, Aquis Farm has a close interest in four of the nine runners: each of them by first season sire, The Mission.
From ANZ Bloodstock: Juveniles of first season sire again impress at yesterday’s official two-year-old hit-outs at Randwick
Aquis Farm’s first season sire Spieth (Thorn Park) was the star of yesterday morning’s much anticipated official two-yearold trials on Randwick’s Kensington track, producing two impressive winners in Victory Moments and Wild Botanica.
From TDN: The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained filly Coolangatta (Written Tycoon) provided one of the standout performances of the nine 2-year-old trials staged at Randwick on Monday, which also witnessed strong showings from the progeny of first-season stallions Merchant Navy and Spieth (NZ).
The progeny of Aquis’ Spieth won two of the trials of the morning, with Kacy Fogden stablemates Wild Botanica and Victory Moments both successful in slick times.
From Breednet: HEAT FIVE 855m – 50.22 seconds- Aquis Farm’s Spieth posted his second winner at this set of trials when the Kacy Fodgen trained colt Victory Moments hit the line hard to beat $1,150,000 I Am Invincible colt Zambezi River by a length and three-quarters.
Victory Moments had trial experience having beaten his stablemate Wild Botanica in a heat at the Gold Coast on September 6.
From TDN: The first progeny of Aquis stallion Spieth (NZ) have made an impact at Queensland’s first 2-year-old trial of the season, with the Kacy Fogden-trained pair Victory Moments and Wild Botanica running the quinella in the 900-metre hitout at the Gold Coast on Monday.
Fogden, who is based at Conungra but also has stables at the Gold Coast, presented four of the five starters in the trial, with three of them by Spieth, the son of Thorn Park who is in his fourth season at Aquis.

New season stallion Spieth (Thorn Park) drew first blood at yesterday’s barrier trials at Aquis Park on the Gold Coast with his two-year-old colt Victory Moments winning the opening heat of the morning impressively.
From Breednet: It’s somewhat fitting that the initial 2YO triallists for Aquis Farm’s exciting young sire, Spieth, have made their ‘debut’ at the Gold Coast’s Aquis Park.
With the first heat of Monday morning’s barrier trials at the Gold Coast dedicated to 2YOs, all three Spieth youngsters – Victory Moments, Acotango and Wild Botanica – put in promising displays for trainer Kacy Fogden, finishing 1st, 2nd and 4th.
From Breednet: Aquis Farm have a roster filled with promising young sires, but with some 30 of his first crop two year-olds already named and 23 of them entered for the 2022 Golden Slipper there is reason for optimism in regards to this good looking son of a champion sire.
The Champion New Zealand Sire of 2010/2011, Australian bred Thorn Park died prematurely at the height of his powers leaving 29 stakes-winners, seven of them Group I winners including his Cox Plate hero and now leading sire Ocean Park.
