Entries Open for NZB Ready to Run

Media Release - Tuesday May 12

Entries are now open for Australasia's leading horses in training sale, New Zealand Bloodstock's Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds, to be held on 18 & 19 November.

The 2020 edition is set to build on its renowned reputation as being the preferred auction for international buyers to secure the best bred, and prepared, juveniles available in Australasia.

NZB’s Ready to Run Sale results outperform neighbouring sales across all key measures and the performance of its graduates is second to none.

NZB’s 2019 Ready to Run Sale delivered results that outstripped those in Australia – delivering 13% more revenue to consignors at a 22% stronger average than both Australian two-year-old sales combined.

In the last six years, the Sale has produced an unrivalled 20 Group One wins and 132 Stakes wins with graduates excelling in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Macau. The Sale also continues to produce an outstanding record of Derby winners and classic types with graduates having won seven Derbys and 14 Guineas over the same period.
