2021 South Island Sale of yearlings now on Gavelhouse Plus

The 2021 New Zealand Bloodstock South Island Sale of yearlings is now live and available to view on their leading online subsidiary Gavelhouse Plus.  

Bidding on the online Sale will commence from Monday April 12, with the first lot closing incrementally at 7PM (NZT) on Wednesday April 14. 

For the second consecutive year, the sale will operate on the digital auction platform, allowing consignors and buyers to confidently operate under the terms of a traditional NZB auction.

This year’s catalogue features a quality line up of yearlings offered by leading consignors located in both the North and South Islands, including a number of siblings to stakes winners and progeny of stakes-winning dams. 

A strong contingent of 30 proven, emerging and first season sires are represented by 63-lots, including progeny by Sacred Falls (O’Reilly), Charm Spirit (Invincible Spirit), Reliable Man (Dalakhani) and Proisir (Choisir), as well as exciting stallion prospects Almanzor (Wootton Bassett), Mongolian Falcon (Fastnet Rock), Time Test (Dubawi) and War Decree (War Front). 

All unbroken yearlings offered through the 2021 South Island Sale on Gavelhouse Plus are eligible for NZB’s lucrative Karaka Million Series, featuring two NZ$1,000,000 races. After they make their virtual sale-ring debut, graduates of the online sale can compete for a share in the NZ$1,000,000 Karaka Million 2YO (RL, 1200m) and the NZ$1,000,000 Karaka Million 3YO Classic (RL, 1600m), in addition to the NZ$100,000 Karaka Cup (2200m), which they can contest for the remainder of their career.

All yearlings will be available for on-farm inspections with NZB Agents available to inspect on behalf.
