NZB RTR Breeze Up Clips Online NOW

Breeze Up clips for New Zealand Bloodstock’s 2015 Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds are now online and can viewed on NZB’s new website at www.nzb.co.nz.

The new NZB website delivers a truly responsive experience - meaning you'll get the best thoroughbred sales experience online no matter what device you use.

The new website also introduces many innovative features that you will see in the NZB Ready to Run Sale catalogue and during the Sale the experience will come to life with live streaming and lot information.

The NZB Ready to Run Sale Handbook can also be found on the new website under the Sale Info section. The Handbook is designed as your ‘go-to’ guide for all things Karaka, containing detailed information that will make your trip to Karaka in November a breeze. In the coming weeks, NZB will be adding more information to the Resources section of the Sale – making it easy to find everything you need in one place.

The Sale has had a strong presence on the racetracks since the commencement of the new season with already five graduates winning stakes races including Mongolian Khan (Holy Roman Emperor), winner of last Saturday’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup. Other stakes-winning graduates this season include Turn Me Loose (NZ) (Iffraaj), Extra Choice (NZ) (Redoute’s Choice), Tyne Cot (NZ) (Keeper) and Dragon Fury (NZ) (Sufficient).

The most successful sale of its kind in Australasia, the NZB Ready to Run Sale had 343 two-year-olds Breeze Up at Te Rapa Racecourse on 19 & 20 October, with the final 200m of each Lot’s work timed and filmed. A full spreadsheet of times can also be downloaded from the online catalogue.
