Media Release - Thursday April 29

Group Two winning Savabeel mare Yearn is the headline act in the quality 37 Lot Autumn Online Broodmare Sale on Gavelhouse Plus.

Yearn is for sale on gavelhouse

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.

“This should help garner plenty of interest considering two of the three highest priced yearlings at Sydney Easter and the highest on the Gold Coast this year were out of Kiwi mares.”
