AQUIS STALLIONS ANNOUNCES 2026 SERVICE FEES

Aquis Stallions is pleased to announce its 2026 stallion roster and service fees, offering breeders proven two-year-old speed, elite international and colonial sire lines, and strong value for the upcoming breeding season.

The 2026 roster has been carefully structured to reflect current market conditions, with a focus on commercial opportunity, affordability and stallions that offer the qualities Queensland breeders continue to seek – speed, precocity, soundness and versatility.

The 2026 roster reflects Aquis Stallions’ continued investment in young, commercially relevant stallions positioned to help shape the next generation of Queensland breeding.

Leading the roster is the regally bred son of Snitzel, Prost, who will stand at $9,900 inc GST in his second season at stud. A Group winner at two and three, Prost combines early speed with the class to train on, while boasting one of the most powerful sprint pedigrees in the Australian Stud Book as a three-quarter brother to Golden Slipper winner Shinzo and Magic Millions 2YO Classic heroine Exhilarates.

A proven Queensland success story, Kobayashi will also stand at $9,900 inc GST. Already recognised as a Champion Queensland 2YO Stallion, Kobayashi continues to build a reputation for producing tough, early-running and genuine racehorses that train on. His consistency and racetrack results make him a reliable option for breeders targeting both local and interstate markets.

Dual Group 1 weight-for-age sprint winner Stronger remains at $8,800 inc GST. A son of Not A Single Doubt, Stronger has already generated strong sale ring support from both local and international buyers, with particular appeal to purchasers targeting the Hong Kong market. His elite sprint profile and commercial appeal make him an attractive option for breeders.

Also standing at $8,800 inc GST is the American-bred Officiating (USA), a son of Blame. Officiating has made a strong start at stud, covering more than 100 mares in each of his first two seasons and leaving a strong first foal crop. His pedigree, physique and outcross profile continue to appeal to breeders across the eastern states.

Aquis Director of Sales Jonathan Davies said the 2026 roster had been priced with practicality and opportunity in mind.

“We understand the challenges breeders are facing and have structured our 2026 roster to offer genuine value and realistic opportunities.

“Each stallion on our roster presents his own opportunity this season, whether through emerging runners, growing racetrack momentum, strong foundations at stud or outstanding value at the current fee. We’re proud to continue working with breeders through competitive fees and a practical approach to the season.”

The 2026 Aquis Stallions roster reflects the farm’s ongoing commitment to standing accessible, quality stallions in Queensland and supporting breeders with real-world commercial opportunities.

Officiating First Draft Pick As Aquis Announces 2024 Fees

Officiating

Queensland’s leading stallion operation, Aquis Stallions, has revealed its roster for the 2024 season.

Aquis Stallions who have launched the careers of some of Australia’s most promising stallions PIERATA, BRAVE SMASH and ROYAL MEETING now announces its new stallion development opportunity in the three-time US Group winner, Officiating.

A complete outcross, deliberately selected by Aquis Stallions following a global headhunting mission to secure a stallion that will excel with the local Queensland broodmare population, with a particular focus on mares by Spirit of Boom, Better Than Ready and Spill The Beans amongst the wider pool of Danehill heavy Queensland mares.

Officiating is the first son of the North American super sire, Blame, to stand in Australia. An Eclipse Champion Racehorse, Breeders’ Cup Classic winner, and three-time Group 1 winner, Blame is an elite stallion who runs at 14% stakes horses to runners as both a sire and a broodmare sire.

Officiating was a racehorse for all seasons, excelling on fast and heavy surfaces with four of his five career victories at stakes level. Officiating would capture the Group 3 Cornhusker at his penultimate outing making it his third high class Group win before farewelling the track in the US$1million Group 2 Charles Town Classic, finishing a neck fourth behind Art Collector, the winner of the Group 1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes. This is proper, fast, tough form on the world stage.

“We got our man!” Aquis Stallions Director of Sales, Jonathan Davies enthused. “In a deal we spent most of 2023 putting together in the USA, Officiating is perfect for our local broodmare population, that’s why he’s here and we’ve already seen a glimpse of that through this season’s Group 2 Todman Stakes winner Switzerland being by Snitzel out of a Blame mare”.

“For us, launching stallions and developing value for our stallion shareholders is what it’s about and like Brave Smash and Royal Meeting, Officiating is that tough, sound, outcross stallion that will work and we have no doubt in four to five years’ time he will be sought by all the big studs in the Hunter Valley and Victoria.

Officiating will stand his first season at Aquis Stallions at a fee of $12,500 inc GST.

Officiating is part of an 8-strong Aquis roster in 2024, which is headed by one of Australia’s leading 2-year-old sires Kobayashi.

Please contact our sales team at Aquis Stallions for more information or to arrange a private viewing of our new stallion Officiating or any of the 2024 stallions.

AQUIS STALLIONS ANNOUNCE STRONGER 2023 ROSTER

Aquis Stallions has today announced their 7-strong stallion line up for the coming spring.

Headlining the Stronger than ever team is the Group 1 winning sprinter, Jonker ($16,500 fee), who covered a superb book of mares for his first season in 2022. A son of the hugely popular Spirit of Boom, Jonker was the fastest male winner of the Gr.1 Manikato Stakes (faster than Redoute’s Choice, Rebel Dane, Sepoy etc..) and his brilliant speed also saw him smash Champion Sprinter, Takeover Target’s 1200m track record.

He’ll be joined in 2023 by son of Champion sire Not A Single Doubt, Stronger ($13,750 fee), a Group 1 winning speedster in Hong Kong and Group winner in Australia at 2.

Both Jonker and Stronger will be joined by the proven Group 1 stallion Invader and up-and-coming sires Kobayashi and The Mission both of whom have enjoyed an incredibly successful twelve months on the track. While Lean Mean Machine – who’s oldest progeny (two-year-olds) are impressing trainers around the country, and the charismatic, good-looking son of Fastnet Rock, Glenfiddich rounds out a strong rooster for 2023.

“We are incredibly excited for the season ahead, we are spearheaded by two good looking proper Group 1 sprinters, both by proven, colonial, speed stallions. We cannot wait for breeders to feast their eyes on Stronger and see Jonkers first foals galloping around paddocks across Australia,” Aquis Farm Director of Sales, Jonathan Davies enthused.

“Jonker covered the best book of mares a first season stallion has covered on this farm. Prudent breeders will of course note that and breeding to Jonker this season will prove an astute move. With the service fee increase to his sire Spirit of Boom, at his fee, Jonker is an attractive option for breeders looking to tap into the sire line,” added Davies.

Like Jonker, Fastnet Rock’s Gr.2 Bill Stutt winner (and Gr.1 Champagne Stakes runner up), Glenfiddich ($8,800 fee) was well received in his first year, while Lean Mean Machine ($13,200 fee) is off to a promising start with trainers predicting progeny will emulate their sire’s Group 2 winning form at 3.

Snitzel’s Group 1 winning 2YO, Invader ($11,000 fee), became the first of the current crop of Second Season Sires to produce a Group 1 winner with Sunshine In Paris winning the Surround Stakes and fellow 2YO stakes winner – the I Am Invincible sire, Kobayashi ($8,800 fee) – has a number of outstanding types coming through, including lightning quick 2YO, Mishani Royale, who has won her last four starts and led home the quinella for her sire in the $500,000 QTIS Jewel.

And the best value for money QTIS stallion, The Mission ($8,800 fee), boasts a higher average earnings index than leading Second Season Sires Russian Revolution and Hellbent. A Group 1 winning 2YO who was Champion Queensland First Season Sire in 2021/22 by winners and earnings and is again the state’s current leading Second Season Sire.

Please contact our sales team at Aquis Stallions for more information or to arrange a private viewing of our new stallion Stronger or any of the 2023 stallions.
