Yearn (NZ) Headlines Autumn Online Broodmare Sale

Group Two winning Savabeel mare Yearn is the headline act in the quality 37 Lot Autumn Online Broodmare Sale on Gavelhouse Plus.

Recently retired, Yearn won the Group Two Auckland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes and is Group One placed over a mile. Adding precocity to her page, she is out of the juvenile winning Danehill mare Princess Uno.

“We’re very pleased with how this concept was received by vendors and we have a good solid catalogue with a bit of European flair plus Australian sires and our own NZ suffix featuring heavily,” said gavelhouse.com representative Harry King.
