Sunday's Australian Pacing Gold Brisbane Sale offers harness racing buyers unprecedented opportunities.
Youngsters passing through the ring are eligible for more prize money and bonuses than any other horses in APG’s history.
Thanks to the amazing QBred Bonus Scheme and APG Gold Bonus Scheme, a single win in a standard two-year-old race in Queensland, and then a single win in a standard three-year-old race in Queensland will net filly owners more than $30,000 in prize money and bonuses, and will net colt owners over $25,000, as follows:

Add on to this, an $80,000 Two-Year-Old Sales Race exclusively for APG Brisbane Sale Graduates, plus APG’s $1Million Race Series, and it is no wonder Sunday's Sale has attracted the strongest line-up of yearlings ever assembled in Brisbane!
The quality on offer is also a quantum leap ahead of what has been on offer in recent years, as demonstrated by the following table:
