A total of 1,088 lots have been catalogued for the 2025 New Zealand Bloodstock (NZB) National Yearling Sale, which is scheduled to take place at Karaka from January 26-30. The catalogue, which is now available to view online, features 661 yearlings in Book 1 and another 427 in Book 2. Previous graduates of the sale include Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars {Aus}), an eight-time Group 1 winner in Australia, in addition to Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}) and Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress {Aus}), both top-class sprinters in Hong Kong. A full-sister to Lucky Sweynesse will be offered at the 2025 edition of the sale, along with yearlings out of Group 1 winners such as Bonneval (NZ) (Makfi {GB}) and Jennifer Eccles (NZ) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire}). This will also be the first time that NZB has combined both Book 1 and Book 2 into one physical catalogue. NZB's managing director Andrew Seabrook said, “Although they still remain separate sales, it was a request made at a post sales vendor meeting earlier this year, so we thought it was worth doing and advantageous from a marketing perspective to have just one catalogue. “Of all the sales in Australasia this year, Karaka saw the biggest increase in average, turnover and median–that was really encouraging. We're incredibly proud of the New Zealand-bred and Karaka graduate results over the last 12 months.” The post Catalogue for the NZB National Yearling Sale Released appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

How did we get hooked on this sport? We all have stories about how our love affair developed and blossomed. The TDN will be reaching out to numerous notable people in the industry to get their stories to find out how they got hooked and stayed hooked on the sport. Dr. Barry Eisaman, Eisaman Equine I've been in the horse world my entire life. So, I think it started just with horses and a love for them in general. That quickly transferred to love of horse racing because in my teenage years, and earlier, I started working around racehorses. But I think as the years would go by, I'm not really remembering, 'oh, that was the moment I got hooked' but instead I get constant reaffirmation of what a wonderful sport this is and what wonderful creatures these racehorses are. A lot of the work that I do is breaking and preparing young horses to go to the races and for rehabilitation. It's just so impressive how tough horses can be, and then the flip side of the coin is how fragile they can be. In my life I've enjoyed trying to help them stay healthy, get them fixed up and get back to their athletic wellness. So, my love of the horse just grew and kept getting reaffirmed over the years. Anytime that I have hands on a young horse or a rehab horse that goes on to be something really special, that's a reaffirmation that this is a wonderful sport. You get the sense of pride that maybe in some way you helped. My whole exposure was when I went to veterinary school and then it was in equine practice at the racetracks in Miami for eight or 10 years. Then I moved to the Ocala area. Those years were spent being impressed by horses from a veterinary standpoint. And then during my years in Ocala, time gradually changed things from a veterinary practice to a training center. My wife Shari [Eisaman] and I run Eiseman Equine, so we have well over 200 horses on campus at any one time. And it's just like a snowball. It just keeps getting bigger as life goes on. Shari has been instrumental in my thinking as she was involved in racing before she and I met. Her background was in horse sales. So, after we got married and over 30 years thereafter I became more involved in sales and getting horses ready to sell. Probably had we not met, I may have stayed in a more conventional veterinarian-only role. But the role that I'm in now is just like the best of all worlds. I get to work with young horses and use my veterinary skills much more than I would in a practice. All the contacts we have continue to reach out to us and that's never really stopped. That's a reason to stay hooked. I have to say that it's not like a Seabiscuit jogging through the dark sort of the moment. But it just continues to be really fun. Nick Tammaro, announcer/handicapper/oddsmaker Once I was old enough to join him on the day trips to racetracks in neighboring states, my Dad decided to bring me to Fair Grounds while we lived in the Dallas area. From the minute we walked in, and I remember it vividly, I was captured by the whole scene. The paddock, the box we sat in, the horses running by, and most importantly the Daily Racing Form. I opened it up and as he explained to me what was on a running line, it all seemed to make sense. From that point forward I asked him to buy me the DRF as often as possible so I could read it and handicap, even if we weren't going to the track. I asked a million questions of the veteran horseplayers we surrounded ourselves with at Trinity Meadows [near Ft. Worth] in an effort to hone my handicapping skills. The process to be a successful horseplayer started for me as a child and will never end. Racing is the greatest game in the world. Needless to say, I was hooked very early!

The Retired Racehorse Project's 2024 year-end giving campaign will include a total goal of $100,000, including a $38,700 match pledge that will double contributions from donors who support the organization's charitable mission to increase demand for Thoroughbreds beyond racing. The campaign comes on the eve of the RRP's 15-year anniversary in 2025. The match pledge is generously donated by Valerie Callcott-Stevens; Copper Beech Stables; The Happy Dog Fund; Hinkle Farms; Dr. Carolyn Karlson; Jen Roytz and Dr. Stuart Brown; and additional Makeover Champions. “The RRP's work spans multiple equine industry sectors, all in effort to ensure positive outcomes for Thoroughbreds who have finished their careers in racing and/or the bloodstock industry,” said RRP Executive Director Kirsten Green. “Initiatives that drive demand benefit the racing industry by facilitating efficient transitions through the aftercare stage of a horse's life and increases the capacity to serve more horses, while our educational programming ensures post-track owners have the resources and support they need to be successful with the breed and provide safe and appropriate homes.” Click here to learn more about the Retired Racehorse Project and its year-end giving campaign.

Arqana today announced the launch of SirePower+, a tailored financing programme which offers breeders the possibility of having 50% of their 2025 covering fee financed by the Deauville auction house up until the offspring is sold. The initiative is aimed at French breeders with or without a stud, as well as foreign breeders who have mares in France or are planning to have mares in France, who wish to cover their top Flat mares. The programme will concentrate on the top international stallions that are in demand because of their progeny's results both on the racecourse and at the yearling sales. The young stock resulting from this programme will then be offered as foals or yearlings at Arqana. “With this initiative, we want to enable breeders to make their mares' coverings more attractive,” read a statement attributed to Olivier Delloye, president of Arqana, and Freddy Powell, managing director. “By concentrating on good mares and the elite stallions in the European stallion pool, this program is designed to help raise the level of our yearlings on offer and continue to broaden our customer base. “We hope to create a virtuous dynamic, with positive impacts at various levels for future generations and sales.” The post Launch of “Tailored Financing Programme” SirePower+ Announced by Arqana appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Australia's most decorated racemare, Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}), welcomed her third foal, a colt by Snitzel (Aus), on Monday morning. Winx endured a challenging start to her breeding career when her first foal by I Am Invincible (Aus) died shortly after foaling, before making history in April when her second foal by Pierro (Aus) sold for A$10 million (around €6.20 million) at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, a world record sum for a filly. The Pierro filly was bought by Debbie Kepitis, who raced Winx in partnership with Peter and Patty Tighe's Magic Bloodstock and the late Richard Treweeke. Trained by Chris Waller, who is also set to oversee the racing career of the Pierro filly, Winx retired as the winner of 25 Group 1 races, including four consecutive editions of the Cox Plate. “She foaled down just after midnight and by all reports it was very quick,” Peter Tighe told RSN927. “She was a bit late delivering–a couple of weeks overdue–but everything went smoothly and she had a beautiful, really long legged colt. He's still got a few hurdles to get over being so young so all the checks have to be done.” He added, “We're happy to have a colt, especially by Snitzel, because it is a super line of breeding, and Winx deserves every bloody thing she gets. Having a beautiful young boy is exactly what she needed. “She looked a million bucks beforehand yesterday and her coat was gleaming. The team at Coolmore and the vets in Scone are second-to-none–they look after her like one of their own family.” The post Wondermare Winx Welcomes Snitzel Colt appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
