Cambridge Stud Gavelhouse Plus Sale Live

Media Release - Thursday May 19

Bidding on Cambridge Stud’s select draft of 10 mares plus a share in Ocean Park on Gavelhouse Plus will end from 7pm (NZT) this Friday 20 May. 

“At Cambridge Stud, we have a business plan to breed off 150 mares. With a large racing team, we have mares retiring to stud every year, so we have to make room for them. This creates a great opportunity for breeders to tap into commercial bloodlines,” Sales and Nominations representative Cameron Ring said.

“The majority of the mares are young and in foal to commercial stallions. Highlights include an unraced daughter of champion race filly Katie Lee by Almanzor and a mare in foal to Almanzor.

“We will continue to support gavelhouse.com’s fortnightly sales throughout the year but having our stand-alone sale for the better-quality stock makes sense to us.”

Other covering sires represented in the catalogue include Ocean Park, Reliable Man, Ribchester and Embellish.

Inspections are welcome by appointment with the in-foal mares based in Cambridge while the off the track fillies are located at the Karaka property.

The gavelhouse.com team are available to assist buyers with their registrations and bidding by contacting +64 9 296 4436 or email info@gavelhouse.com
