Recently retired, Yearn won the Gr.2 Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes and is Group One placed over a mile. Adding precocity to her page, she is out of the juvenile winning Danehill mare Princess Uno.

“We’re very pleased with how this concept was received by vendors and we have a good solid catalogue with a bit of European flair plus Australian sires and our own NZ suffix featuring heavily,” said gavelhouse.com representative Harry King.
