Full Sister to Yankee Rose a Gavelhouse Highlight

Media Release - Thursday September 2

With the breeding season underway, those looking to add quality to their broodmare arsenals need look no further than the latest gavelhouse.com catalogue.

Representing just 7.3% of Australia’s racing population, New Zealand-bred horses won 24.3% of Group One races there last season. The Kiwi’s consistent trans-Tasman dominance promises that demand in coming years is guaranteed and is a reason to breed with confidence this season.

College Girl is a full sister to dual G1 winner Yankee Rose.

Of the 49-Lot assembly, 35 are broodmares with all bar 1 offered on an unreserved basis and the majority part of a large dispersal. Some Lots of note include:
