The likes of Golden Sixty (Medaglia D’or), Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse), Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree), Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars), Pulchritudinous (NZ) (Wrote), Sharp ‘N’ Smart (NZ) (Redwood) are all known as graduates of the Sale, plus emerging stars like last year’s record sale topper Megastar Heart (Star Turn), Antino (NZ) (Redwood), Snow Patrol (NZ) (Contributor) and Eternal Flame (NZ) (Sacred Falls) to name a few.
The ongoing success on the racetrack by graduates has seen an increased buyer demand globally at Karaka for two-year-olds prepared by New Zealand’s expert horsemen and women.
As a result, the 2023 Sale turnover of more than $35.1 million was 235% more than the closest Australian competitor equivalent sale with only 157 more horses catalogued. The record average of $156,031 at the 2023 Ready to Run Sale was also a clear 37% more than the closest Australian competitor sale average.
