Pedigree Potential –NZB Ready to Run – Nicks that Click

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday Nov 9

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.

Per Incanto (USA) is never without a good horse in Australia and while his multiple G1 winner Jimmysstar (NZ) will get a chance for further success this Saturday in the $1million Group I MRC CF Orr stakes, last week at Rosehill it was the turn of Evaporate (NZ) to take the spotlight.

Multiple G1 placed and third in last year’s CF Orr Stakes behind Jimmysstar, the Lindsay Park Racing trained Evaporate produced his biggest pay day so far when taking out the $2miliion Group III ATC Five Diamonds (1800m) for 5YO’s.

Both Jimmysstar and Evaporate are bred on a great nick for Per Incanto as both of them are from mares that carry Zabeel blood somewhere in their pedigree.

Per Incanto has sired 10 SWs bred this way and they include another G1 winner in Gringotts.

There are eight 2YOs by Per Incanto to be offered at NZB Ready to Run and the following fit the profile:

Lot 55 Gelding Per Incanto (USA) x Superior Choice, by Redoute’s Choice – Riversley Park

Full brother to a winner and is from placed daughter of G3 winning Zabeel mare Bhandara from the family of G1 winner Sharvasti.

Lot 141 Colt Per Incanto (USA) x Alternative Fact, by Medaglia D’Oro (USA) – Kiltannon Stables

Lot 174 Filly Per Incanto (USA) x Boasting, by Sacred Falls – Kilmore Farm

First foal of a winning daughter of a three-quarter sister to G3 winner Love Affair from well proven Black Type family that includes this season’s promising G3 placed 3YO Cignetti.

Lot 201 Filly Per Incanto (USA) x Champagne Tastes, by Darci Brahma – Kilgravin Lodge

Dam has had three foals to race for two winners and is a half-sister to G1 winner Hasahalo as well as G3 winners Hasabro, All Saints’ Eve and All Hallows’ Eve.

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), Gringotts (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.
