Pedigree Potential –NZB Ready to Run – Nicks that Click

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Sep 29

A quality packed catalogue for the 2026 NZB Ready to Run Sale is now online and in the lead up to the sale we’ll go looking each week for some horses of interest that jump out on pedigree for various reasons.

There were two G1 races run in Australia last weekend and both of them were won by horses sired by stallions that stand in New Zealand with Warwoven (ATC Golden Rose) by Sword of State and Jimmysstar (MVRC Manikato Stakes) by Per Incanto (USA) - both stallions are well represented at this sale.

Warwoven is from the first crop of Sword of State, who has 12 entries for this sale.

His second crop features a 2YO filly that could not have been more impressive when scoring a brilliant trial win at Warwick Farm on Monday for the Richard and Will Freedman stable.

Looking at that trial, it’s hard not to be impressed with Jenni in Rome, who was a $130,000 Karaka Book 2 purchase from Cambridge Stud and interestingly she has a three-quarter-brother-in-blood entered for this sale.

Half-brother to three winners from a top class European Black Type family that produced a new stakes-winner in Ireland this year in Frankel 2YO filly Maire Rua.

Jenni in Rome is the second foal of La Tardigrada, a winning half-sister by I Am Invincible to this colt being a daughter of Phenetic.

$10million earner Jimmysstar is the leading stake earner for top class sire Per Incanto, who has nine entries for this sale.

While there are none bred on the exact same cross as Jimmysstar, who is from a daughter of Zabeel stallion Zed, there is one bred along similar lines and on his most successful nick in terms of stakes success.

Per Incanto has produced five stakes-winners from daughters of Savabeel headed by Group I winner Gringotts and the following colt fits the profile.

Fourth foal of a placed half-sister to Group I Queensland Oaks winner Miss Keepsake and Group II winner Villifye tracing back to an iconic Kiwi family with fourth dam the blue hen My Tricia.

Hong Kong Derby victor Invincible Ibis (Hellbent), plus Group I stars Ceolwulf (NZ) (Tavistock), Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars), Griongotts (NZ) (Per Incanto),Lucky Sweynesse  (NZ) (Sweynesse), Golden Sixty (Medaglia d’Oro), Antino  (NZ) (Redwood), Feroce (NZ) (Super Seth), War Machine  (NZ) (Harry Angel) and Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree) headline a remarkable list of recent graduates from this Sale.

The 2026 edition of the Ready to Run Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre from 11am (NZT) on 18 & 19 November, with Breeze Ups to be held across two consecutive days on one turf track at Te Rapa Racecourse on 12 & 13 October.
