Caroline has been thrilled with the support for this must see Preview from these iconic New Zealand breeders who are keen to show off their future stars of the track to Australian trainers, agents, owners and breeders.

She says “off the back of such great racetrack success in Australia by horses sold through the Karaka sale ring in recent years, these great Kiwi horsemen and women are so keen to put these magnificent thoroughbreds under the noses of the Australian buying bench as they are 100% sure the current boom in New Zealand success in our big racing carnivals will continue in coming years. This program gives viewers a rare opportunity to see these yearlings on big screen TV to identify the horses they want to inspect on the sale grounds or ask someone to inspect for them.”

The 2024 NZB Yearling Sale Preview airs on Foxtel on Sky Thoroughbred Central on Monday night at 7.30pm AEDST with replays throughout the week and it has also been scheduled on Trackside NZ.
