When questioned further, Fung reiterated that the Aquis racing and breeding empire would not be disappearing from the Australian industry any time soon. “Aquis is 100 per cent here to stay. If this doesn’t quell some of the rumours, I am not really sure what else I can do to address them,” he said. “While there have been changes in the past, I really want to reassure people that this is the vision going forward and we are now on the path.” That vision will see Pierata, Invader (Snitzel), Brave Smash (Tosen Phantom), Divine Prophet (Choisir), Spieth (Thorn Park), Santos (I Am Invincible), Jukebox (Snitzel) and Bellevue Hill (Pierro) stand at Aquis’ Gold Coast property after spending last season at Lincoln Farm in the Hunter Valley.
