The catalogue assembled for New Zealand Bloodstock’s 93rd National Yearling Sales Series has serious firepower so buyers can expect a line up of 1,284 of the country’s best thoroughbred yearlings to inspect.
A thrilling afternoon of racing on the eve of the Sales will set the tone for the week with New Zealand’s richest race meeting of the year, the Karaka Million Twilight Meeting.
Held on Saturday 26 January, the six-race programme will feature the $1 million Karaka Million 2YO and the $1 million Karaka Million 3YO Classic, along with the $100,000 CollinsonForex Karaka Cup and a further three Group races.
Just 12 months ago, the talented youngsters who will line up for the two-year-old feature were walking through the Karaka sale ring and now they will be competing for their first share in $1 million.
Your opportunity to do the same begins when the first 100 yearlings go under the hammer from 3.00pm at the opening session of Book 1 on Sunday 27 January. A total of 698 yearlings will be auctioned across the first half of the week, with the next 378 yearlings catalogued in Book 2 running across Thursday and Friday. The remaining 208 yearlings will be offered in Book 3 on Sunday 3 February.
NZB is proud to showcase these thoroughbreds to the world and welcome you to Karaka in 2019 for an unforgettable experience.
