Aquis will provide racing and media identity Richard Callander with $2500 to punt on each race on August 21, with all earnings and stakes donated to local charities helping the men and women on the land.
Glen Munsie, on behalf of the TAB and Sky Sports Racing, will guarantee any shortfall on the day to the sum of $20,000, so whatever the result, it is a win for local farming communities in the Upper Hunter.
MRC general manager Duane Dowell was delighted to announce Aquis Farm had partnered with the organisation for the big day.
“Muswellbrook Race Club is thrilled to have Aquis Farm on board who is a significant component of the Hunter Valley breeding industry,” he said.
“The Aquis Farm Race Day on August 21 is well-positioned to showcase their growing business and fantastic list of stallions on offer for this upcoming breeding season.”
Aquis will award the breeder of the winner of each race on the day a 25 per cent discount off their stallions’ advertised stud fees (excluding first season stallions) and a 30 per cent discount if the breeder wishes to book multiple mares to Aquis stallions in the 2018 breeding season.
‘’This is a great opportunity for Aquis to become involved in Hunter Valley racing,” Aquis CEO Shane McGrath said.
“The Muswellbrook Race Club does an exceptional job promoting racing locally and has a great committee.
“The track and facilities are a testament to their devotion and we are extremely grateful for the support Aquis and our stallions have received in our short time here.
“The Aquis race day at Muswellbrook on Tuesday, August 21, kicks off the start of a massive week for Hunter Valley breeders and stallion owners and we look forward to seeing you there.
“We’d like to extend our gratitude to Muswellbrook Race Club, and to Richard Callander, Glen Munsie, the TAB and Sky Sports Racing for their generous support to the drought relief as it is a cause that is close to all our hearts.”
