Pedigree Potential –NZB Ready to Run – Nicks that Click

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday Oct 19

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.

Newgate based Tassort is a stallion whose stud career started at a fee of just $11,000 and his first four crops were all conceived at that fee before his first runners, including Group I winner Manaal, changed all that making him one of the most popular young sires in Australia.

Even off the low fee, Tassort has been able to sire a stakes-winner or more in each of his four crops to date with 2YO filly Soldi winning the Listed MRC Debutant Stakes last week.

Tassort has seven entries for this sale and they include the fastest horse from the breeze ups.

Lot 35 offered by Prima Park is a gelding from Snowbrook that galloped out his furlong in a dazzling 10.19 seconds.

He is the second foal of a winning half-sister to SW Happy Cash from the family of Golden Slipper winner and G1 sire Stratum.

Family search on Breednet allows you to search an upcoming sale for horses related to stakes-winners and a couple from last weekend have thrown up relations in this sale.

A homebred for Pride of Jenni’s owner Tony Ottobre, well-bred Snitzel colt King Snitz staked a G! Victoria Derby claim when winning the Group III MRC Sportsbet Classic at Caulfield and is the first foal of Group I winner Princess Jenni.

Princess Jenni was bought by Tony Ottobre back in 2017 at the Karaka Book 1 Yearling Sale for $120,000 and this High Chaparral (IRE) mare has plenty of relations still in New Zealand.

Lot 272 will be offered by Riversley Park and is an Armory (IRE) colt (first foal) from Glitzabella, a placed half-sister to Princess Jenni, dam of King Snitz.

There are two entries from this top class running family catalogued for this sale.
