On Saturday 26 July, the New Zealand thoroughbred breeding community will gather at the National Breeding Awards — not only to celebrate excellence, but to invest in the future of our people and our industry.

Sebring Sun is one of those stallions budget conscious breeders will consider closely this spring with nearly 70% winners to runners making people sit up and take notice and one of those winners is Hot Bandit, who won the $70,000 Narrandera Showcase Cup on Sunday.
