Buyers must register on Gavelhouse Plus in advance in order to gain bidding approval. There is also no benefit in letting the clock run down to the final seconds before bidding.

All yearlings catalogued have been inspected by NZB and New Zealand-based agents, who will be able to provide inspection notes and evaluations for buyers. Get in touch with the team for assistance.

Entries close Monday 30 June 2025.

As a one-off, NZTBA have offered to extend the early bird offer for entries to the Entain-NZB Insurance Pearl Series for all fillies offered in the upcoming National Online Yearling Sale held on Gavelhouse Plus.
