There is no benefit in letting the clock run down to the final seconds before bidding. The auction will keep auto-extending, and you risk missing out if your internet connection drops out. Setting an auto-bid is the best way to ensure your bids are accepted as gavelhouse.com cannot identify loss of online connection or browser issues at the user’s end. Google Chrome is the recommended internet browser.

All yearlings catalogued have been inspected by NZB agents, who will be able to provide inspection notes and evaluations for buyers. Get in touch with the team for assistance.

All yearlings purchased are eligible to be nominated for NZB’s lucrative Karaka Millions Series. Just nine short months after they make their virtual sale-ring debut, graduates can compete for a share of the $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), the $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) as well as the NZB Mega Maiden Series.
