    • Gamma the issue isn't about the Auckland Cup, the issue is is this the right move to go Dec 31, there is a   $100000 Free for all on Dec 20  for Pacers and Trotters, same days as Invercargill then theirs  New Years Eve, question is will southerners go, especially any trotters if Just Believes there, bearing in mind again there are FFA races for both pacers and trotters on Jan 2, at Omakau  Auckland have been the ones messing  around with their Cup days, Invercargills day is perfect timing for them, finally they have a Cup Day that's fits perfectly. As for the crowd at Alexandra Park partying after the races for New Years Eve, probably most ain't bothered if it's Auckland Cup or Franklin Cup day
    • As I said I was paraphrasing your posts.
    • Wasn't that a R65 & it's 2nd win from2 starts?
    • A high quality 343-lot catalogue has been assembled for NZB Standardbred’s 2025 National Yearling Sale to be held at Karaka and Canterbury Agricultural Park next summer. The refreshed sale format will see selling at Auckland on Saturday, February 15 and in Christchurch, Tuesday February 18. The condensed sale with inspection days between Auckland and Christchurch sessions allows time for travel and inspections. The New Zealand product continues to perform on major race days across Australasia, with NZB Standardbred graduates adding to the blockbuster performances in recent times. Headlined by horses such as Merlin (NZ) (Art Major), Meant To Be (NZ) (Father Patrick), Marketplace (NZ) (Bettor’s Delight), Rakero Rebel (NZ) (Rock N Roll Heaven), Major Hot (NZ) (Art Major), Cyclone Jordy (NZ) (Art Major), Coastal Babe (NZ) (Downbytheseaside), Don’t Stop Dreaming (NZ) (Bettor’s Delight), Millwood Nike (NZ) (Captaintreacherous) and more, the Sale has become an incredible source of racetrack stars. With 130 yearlings set to go under the hammer in Auckland and a further 213 in Christchurch, buyers will have the opportunity to secure top-class yearlings from blue-blooded families, with a number of siblings to Group 1 winners and progeny from Group 1-winning dams. Some of those include: · Lot 9, a full sister to Group 1 Victorian Oaks and Caduceus Club Classic winner Coastal Babe (NZ) (Downbytheseaside) presented by breeders Woodlands Stud. · Offered on behalf of first-time consignors at this Sale in Yabby Dam Farms, Lot 34 is a half-brother to three-time Group1 winner in Australia Cravache Dor (AUS) (Orlando Vici). The colt is by Muscles N Blue and will be prepared by Hollis & Robertson Equine Services. · A rare opportunity is presented with the first ever colt out of Champion mare Adore Me (NZ) (Bettor’s Delight) going through the ring as Lot 70. By Captaintreacherous, he will be offered by Woodlands Stud. · Lot 81 is a half-brother to incredible filly Millwood Nike (NZ) (Captaintreacherous). By Art Major, the colt is offered by co-breeders Alabar. · Multiple Group 1-winner Merlin (NZ) (Art Major) has a half-brother catalogued as Lot 134. The Captaintreacherous colt is offered by Laura Smith on behalf of breeders Taffy Ltd. · Lot 142 features an exciting combination, by champion racehorse and freshman sire King of Swing, out of Kate Black (NZ) (Bettor’s Delight), making this colt a half-brother to trans-Tasman Group 1 winner Got The Chocolates (NZ) (Art Major). · Barron Bloodstock also offer a full sister (Lot 301) to the exciting Marketplace (NZ) (Bettor’s Delight) who’s had a major pedigree update winning the Group 1 Sires Stakes Series Final since the catalogue went to print. There are 39 stallions represented including champions Bettor’s Delight, Art Major, Captaintreacherous and more, plus the first offering from freshmen Bird Parker, Face Time Bourbon, King of Swing, On A Streak and Zenith Stride. The catalogue also features the first-ever Australian-owned and bred yearlings to be offered, from the world-class Victorian-based Yabby Dam Farms. “The quality of the catalogue continues to make this Sale the best in Australasia,” says NZB Standardbred Manager Cam Bray. “The inclusion of Yabby Dam’s horses in Laura Smith and Hollis & Robertson Equine Services’ draft just adds to some of the incredible yearlings on offer.” “There are some really current performers in the catalogue and we are particularly excited to sell the first colt out of champion mare Adore Me, not to mention the full to the rising superstar Marketplace. “While the condensed catalogue is a reflection of the reduced foal crop, the format is preferable for buyers and the opportunity to buy quality yearlings is limited, so if you want a nice horse, this is the source.” All yearlings will be available for inspection during the on-farm parades, with all prospective buyers welcome to attend to get a head start on inspections and evaluations. NZB Standardbred and New Zealand-based agents and trainers will be available to inspect on behalf of prior to the Sale and on the grounds at the Karaka Sales Centre and Canterbury Agricultural Park. Buyers wishing to purchase remotely can participate via NZB’s user-friendly online bidding platform standardbred.bidonline.nzb.co.nz, while all buyers and agents are welcome to attend the physical sale sessions in person at Karaka and Christchurch. All yearlings purchased at the 2025 National Yearling Sale are eligible for the lucrative $1 million Harness Million Sale Race Series for graduates, consisting of principal two-year-old and three-year-old races for colts and geldings, fillies and trotters individually, plus opportunities for four-year-old and older horses.
