With fields shaping up for the Karaka Million races at Ellerslie on Saturday, the performances of the runners that have placed them high in the order of entry are adding to value of their relations catalogued for Karaka 2019.

Sir Nate will be back for a second crack at the principal share of $1 million as part of a three-pronged attack on the prestigious Karaka Million meeting by Lisa Latta.

Sir Nate will head to the sternest test of his career at the top of his game.

Lisa Latta may not have come away with the results she was after at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day, but the Awapuni trainer was happy enough with the performance of her two stakes runners.

Unbeaten youngster Sir Nate has earned himself a break ahead of his major summer target.
