A HUSH-HUSH deal that could see the Gold Coast Turf Club at Bundall

The big-money man is Honkers billionaire Tony Fung, whose Aquis group
is the club’s naming-rights sponsor.

The developer is George Mastrocostas, who owns the two-year-old Aniko

Aquis horse that won last year’s Magic Millions two-year-old classic.

It’s believed that off to the side a heads of agreement has been drawn up
between Aquis and Aniko, who apparently have been working for several
