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:
