Last week’s March QTIS Sale yielded four bargain purchases for Proven Thoroughbreds, taking our total number of yearlings for 2020 to 30.
The QTIS Sale has developed a reputation for offering exceptional value and that was heightened this year in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic.
As all four of Proven’s acquisitions are fillies, they will be eligible for QTIS’s lucrative fillies bonuses which allocates almost $80k to the winner of a Saturday race in Brisbane (some $20k more than the equivalent in Sydney!).
While a midweek QTIS fillies race sees the winner net $33k, compared to $22k in Sydney.

ENQUIRE
