2025 National Online Yearling Sale Entries Open

Media Release - Thursday February 13

Entries for NZB’s 2025 National Online Yearling Sale are now open, with the Sale set to be held on Gavelhouse Plus.

The catalogue will be available to view online from Tuesday 18 March, with bidding set to open on Friday 28 March and close from 6pm (NZT) on Tuesday 1 April.

Group Two winner Hitabell (NZ) was a National Online Yearling Sale graduate

A significant benefit of the digital catalogue is that all lots offered in the National Online Yearling Sale are eligible to be nominated for the lucrative Karaka Millions Series.

Just nine short months after they make their virtual sale-ring debut, graduates of the online sale can compete for a share in the 2026 $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), followed by the 2027 $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m), as well as the NZB Mega Maiden Bonus Series with $1m in bonuses up for grabs across 40 maiden races each season.

Graduates of the relatively new sale have already had multiple successes on the racetrack, with just 105 runners claiming 87 wins on the track, including Group Two Eight Carat Classic winner Hitabell (NZ) (Embellish), as well as stakes performers Southern Warrior (NZ) (Belardo), Bolshoi Star (NZ) (Russian Revolution) and TAB Karaka Millions contender Daylight Robbery (NZ) (Super Seth).

“Hitabell is the latest graduate to come out of this sale. She was just a $9,500 purchase and now a Group Two winner which makes her a very valuable prospect going forward,” commented NZB Bloodstock Sales Manager Kane Jones.

“Daylight Robbery running in the $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO race last month is another example of the genuine racehorses that are sourced from this session for some bargain prices.

“In just its fourth year, the Sale offers breeders and vendors a cost-effective and straight-forward opportunity to sell their yearlings to a wide audience, and the attraction for buyers is only strengthened by the Karaka Millions Series eligibility.”

Entries for the 2025 National Online Yearling Sale are open now and will close Wednesday 5 March.
