New Zealand Bloodstock's (NZB) 2024 National Online Yearling Sale is now live. For the fourth year, the digital edition to NZB's National Yearling Sales series is set to be conducted on the premium online platform Gavelhouse Plus. View the 100-lot catalog here.
Bidding will run for a five-day period, commencing April 12 with the first lot closing on April 17 at 6 p.m. (NZT). Buyers must register on Gavelhouse Plus in advance in order to gain bidding approval.
All horses will be inspected by NZB agents, who are available to assist buyers with inquiries. Buyers are also welcome to join the on-farm parades prior to the sale, with the schedule available to view here.
All uneducated yearlings purchased from the National Online Yearling Sale are eligible to be nominated for NZB's lucrative Karaka Millions Series. Just nine months after they make their virtual sale-ring debut, graduates of the online sale can compete for a share of the NZ$1 million Karaka Millions 2Y0, followed by the NZ$1.5 million Karaka Millions 3YO plus a NZ$200,000 bonus for new owners.
"This is the last chance to enter horses in the NZ$2.9 million Karaka Millions Series," said NZB managing director Andrew Seabrook. "And with the 2-year-old race only nine months later, the online sale presents buyers with a distinct advantage."
