Ready to Run Sale Kicks Off Wednesday

NZB’s Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds commences Wednesday 22 November with horses available for inspection now at the Karaka Sales Centre.

With 437 well-trained two-year-olds catalogued, the Sale promises to be an action-packed two days with selling starting at 11am each day.

X-rays and veterinary certificates have been lodged with the Repository and are available to view on site at Karaka or via remote access for online viewing by registered vets. A current list of horses with x-rays and certificates can be viewed under the Sale Info section of the online catalogue, it is also published in the Addendum and Errata section.

With an impressive record of 110 stakes wins over the past five seasons, New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds is the most successful sale of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

Their performance at Group 1 level is unrivalled, with Karaka having been the source of 12 individual Group 1 winners who collectively won 19 Group 1 features over the past five seasons alone – our closest competitor only had one.

Three of those Group 1 victories came during the 2016-17 season with star representative and dual Group 1 winner Gingernuts (NZ) (Iffraaj) triumphing on both sides of the Tasman and fellow stablemate Hall of Fame (NZ) (Savabeel) scoring a Group 1 feature. Further afield, Singapore winners last season were headed by Singapore Horse of the Year Debt Collector (NZ) (Thorn Park) who claimed the first two legs of the Triple Crown Series as well as the Jumbo Jet Trophy. He was joined by 3YO Sprint and 3YO Classic winner Countofmontecristo (NZ) (Echoes of Heaven) and Patron’s Bowl and Stewards’ Cup winner Alibi (NZ) (Darci Brahma).

The statistics have been bolstered further with this seasons Group 1 victory in the Windsor Park Plate by Gingernuts, the Group 2 Wakeful Stakes by Luvaluva (NZ) (Mastercraftsman), and the Garden City Trophy and Jumbo Jet Trophy by Faaltless (Faltaat) and Countofmontecristo.
