The New Zealand thoroughbred has never stopped evolving. As we step into the next century of the National Yearling Sale, the Karaka of today is defined by bloodstock that has adapted for this new era of racing. Be it time-honoured Group Ones or rich new races, be they sprinters, milers or middle-distance specialists - the kiwi thoroughbred isn’t standing still, and neither should you.
All yearlings purchased are eligible for the Karaka Millions Series featuring the $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m), followed by the $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) as well as the NZB Mega Maiden Bonus Series.
The catalogues for Karaka 2027 will be available online and in letterboxes in November.
