2025 Breeze Ups Postponed One Week

Media Release - Thursday October 9

NZB has made the decision to postpone the Breeze Ups for the 2025 Ready to Run Sale due to unfavourable weather conditions with heavy rain and wind predicted through to Tuesday.

The Breeze Ups will now take place at Te Rapa on Monday 20 & Tuesday 21 October starting at 10am each day. 

NZB is committed to conducting the Breeze Ups on a turf surface at Te Rapa, the overwhelming preference from buyers and agents.

“In association with Waikato Thoroughbred Racing, we’ve been monitoring the weather forecast closely,” commented NZB’s Director of Operations James Jennings.

“Ideally, we want two consistent days for Breeze Ups, and it has become apparent that will not be the case next week with the adverse weather that is being predicted.”

The auction house strongly believes that postponing the Breeze Ups is conducive to all vendors, preparers, buyers and the horses.

The Breeze Ups will be conducted on these new dates regardless of the circumstances, with a revised schedule to be published next week.
