Breeze Up Entries Close this Friday

28 September 2004

This Friday is the deadline for entries for the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale Breeze Ups which will be conducted on the 11 & 12 October at Te Rapa. The Breeze Ups are mandatory for Select Session horses and, while optional for those in the General Session, vendors are strongly encouraged to breeze up General Session horses also.

With buyers now relying substantially on video and computer displays of the Breeze Up clips to help make their purchase decisions, New Zealand Bloodstock will again make sure that footage of all breeze up horses is made available to buyers as soon as possible after the Breeze Ups. This is an extremely valuable tool for all prospective buyers. The highly successful "Video On Demand" facility, where buyers can watch breeze up clips on a computer screen at the touch of a button, will be available again this year.

The Ready to Run Sale has well and truly established itself as one of most important and exciting events on the New Zealand sales calendar, having grown remarkably in profile, quality and results in terms of both sale prices and subsequent racetrack performance of graduates over the past five years. This year's catalogue of 359 is over a hundred more horses than last year and promises some exciting buying opportuinities.

New Zealand Bloodstock's Ready to Run Sale will be held at the Karaka Sales Centre on 16 & 17 November. Breeze Ups are at Te Rapa Racecourse on 11 & 12 October. Catalogues will be sent out this week. To order a catalogue or for sales information please contact New Zealand Bloodstock.
