NZB Ready to Run Dates Confirmed

Media Release - Tuesday August 11

Breeze Up dates for New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds have been adjusted and will now take place on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 October at Te Rapa Racecourse, with all prospective buyers welcome to attend. 

With the recently released trial and racing programs announced for October, the decision was made to move the dates forward slightly to better fit with the industry’s wider schedule.

Timing for the Breeze Ups will remain the same, commencing at 10am both days. 

Each Breeze Up heat will be filmed and timed, with extensive video footage made available for viewing on the NZB website in due course. 

The 2020 edition of NZB’s Ready to Run Sale will take place on 18 and 19 November at the Karaka Sales Centre.

The number one sale of its kind in Australasia is the undisputed source of winning two-year-olds, with NZB Ready to Run Sale graduates claiming 136 black type victories in the last five seasons alone.

With the upgrade to ultra-fast fibre at Karaka, NZB is now in the position to offer online bidding services for registered buyers who are unable to be physically in attendance.

The catalogue will launch in mid-September. - NZ RAcing Desk
