Entries Open for NZB South Island Sale and National Weanling Sale

Media Release - Thursday February 11

Entries for NZB’s dedicated weanling only sale are now open, set to be held as a physical sale at the Karaka Sales Centre on Friday 14 May.

Star NZB weanling graduates include Group One Tarzino Trophy winner Callsign Mav (NZ) (Atlante), a $3,000 weanling purchase and Jennifer Eccles (NZ) (Rip Van Winkle), who was crowned NZB Filly of the Year for 2019-20 and has earned $509,650 in stakes – more than 101 times her $5,000 purchase price. 

Given the unlikely chance of a trans-Tasman travel bubble, weanlings offered in the 2021 session at Karaka will be in high demand by astute New Zealand-based pinhookers.

Set to take place in one centralised location, this year’s weanling only sale will provide a great opportunity for domestic buyers to inspect and bid on horses.

NZB’s online bidding services will also be available, giving international buyers the chance to access a unique offering of quality juveniles and obtaining first-hand access to a number of New Zealand-based first season sires.
