With Book 1 of the Magic Millions Yearling Sale completed, attention now turns to the second major Australasian yearling sale of 2024, the NZB Karaka Sale from January 28 in New Zealand.
Join Caroline Searcy on Monday night for the biggest and best NZB Sale Preview yet – a 90 minute look at feature yearlings by leading global stallions on offer from New Zealand’s most successful stud farms.
The past 12 months have seen outstanding stakes-winning results in Australia from horses sold through the Karaka sale ring and the crop of ’24 offers full and half relations to Group 1 winners such as Prowess, Manzoice, Ruthless Dame, Kahma Lass and more.
Ten Kiwi farms are profiled and show off their highlight lots for the 2024 sale including Cambridge Stud, Haunui Farm, Curraghmore, Windsor Park Stud, Woburn Farm, The Oaks, Hallmark Stud, Wentwood Grange, Pencarrow Stud and Elsdon Park.
Yearlings in the Preview are by Australasia’s most exciting proven and emerging sires alike, including Snitzel, Savabeel, Proisir, The Autumn Sun, Wootton Bassett, Almanzor, Hello Youmzain, Farnan, Cosmic Force, Circus Maximus, Maurice, Russian Camelot, Tagaloa, Written Tycoon, North Pacific, U S Navy Flag, Dundeel, Trapeze Artist, Ole Kirk, Alabama Express and more.
Caroline has been thrilled with the support for this must see Preview from these iconic New Zealand breeders who are keen to show off their future stars of the track to Australian trainers, agents, owners and breeders.
She says “off the back of such great racetrack success in Australia by horses sold through the Karaka sale ring in recent years, these great Kiwi horsemen and women are so keen to put these magnificent thoroughbreds under the noses of the Australian buying bench as they are 100% sure the current boom in New Zealand success in our big racing carnivals will continue in coming years. This program gives viewers a rare opportunity to see these yearlings on big screen TV to identify the horses they want to inspect on the sale grounds or ask someone to inspect for them.”
The 2024 NZB Yearling Sale Preview airs on Foxtel on Sky Thoroughbred Central on Monday night at 7.30pm AEDST with replays throughout the week and it has also been scheduled on Trackside NZ.
