The countdown to NZB’s 2026 National Weanling Sale is underway, with a high quality catalogue of 140 youngsters by New Zealand’s best stallions now available to view online at nzb.co.nz, with physical copies arriving in mailboxes soon.
Set to be held on Thursday 25 June at Karaka, the Sale offers an abundance of opportunities for both pinhookers and end users to secure commercial and racing stock, with the session a proven source of racetrack and investment success.
Buyers will have the opportunity to secure progeny of established and emerging sires Savabeel, Proisir, Super Seth, Sword of State, Almanzor, Ace High, Per Incanto, and Satono Aladdin to name just a few.
“The catalogue features the same commercial quality you would expect at the National Yearling Sale, which provides a fantastic opportunity for pinhookers and investors,” commented NZB Bloodstock Sales manager Kane Jones.
"There are a number of high-profile sires featured which is a huge drawcard, as well as a first glimpse of progeny by first season sires Chaldean, Hilal, Mr Mozart and Paddington.
“We’ve been supported by a number of leading vendors and top New Zealand breeders, with a rare chance to buy into Karaka-quality weanlings."
All weanlings offered are eligible to be nominated for NZB’s lucrative Karaka Millions Series featuring the TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) and the TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m).
Weanlings entered in the Sale will be available for inspections at the on-farm parades, due to take place in early June, and on-site at Karaka Sales Centre, with NZB agents available to inspect on behalf of buyers. Schedule available soon.
Buyers wishing to attend the Sale are able to book their stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka hotel onsite here or by emailing travel@nzb.co.nz for assistance.
