Group Two Wellington Guineas winner  Emily Margaret  (NZ) (Pins) was victorious in the first two legs of the NZB Southern Filly of the Year Series landing her the prestigious title for the 2018-19 season.

White Robe Lodge, the vendor of Ranger, will present a colt by Darci Brahma at Lot 53 who is from this same family.

Outside of these stakes performed Karaka graduates, several other horses have provided pedigree updates since the catalogue went to print.
