A significant benefit of the digital catalogue is that all lots offered in the National Online Yearling Sale are eligible to be nominated for the lucrative Karaka Millions Series. Just nine short months after they make their virtual sale-ring debut, graduates of the online sale can compete for a share in the 2027 $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), followed by the 2028 $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m), as well as the NZB Mega Maiden Bonus Series with $1m in bonuses up for grabs across 40 maiden races each season.
Graduates of the relatively new sale have already had multiple successes on the racetrack, with 146 runners claiming 133 wins on the track. This includes the unbeaten and recent Group One New Zealand 1000 Guineas winner Well Written (Written Tycoon) and Group Two Eight Carat Classic winner Hitabell (NZ) (Embellish).
Bought by Stephen Marsh Racing and Dylan Johnson Bloodstock for a sale-topping $80,000 from Brighthill Farm’s 2024 National Online Yearling Sale draft, Well Written has now had three starts for three super-impressive victories and leads the NZB Filly of the Year standings.
Entries for the 2026 National Online Yearling Sale will open in February next year, with further details to follow. Following normal Sale protocol, the National Online Yearling Sale will continue to be run under NZB Terms and Conditions.
