    • What G1 3yo races (other than middle distance) are there here during that time frame?
    • There is actually quite a large gap as to when the Spring carnivals in Aus finish mid Nov and when the Sydney Autumn carnival begins first week March, 3 3/4 months.  So plenty of opportunities in NZ then.
    • Especially if you aren't eligible for the Slot Race or the KM.  All roads lead to Ellerslie but not all the horses can go there for eligibility and track suitability reasons.
    • I wouldn't think any of our very best would stay here after the guineas races. There's nothing left in the pattern here for them after that unless they are middle distance prospects. Have to go to Oz if they are G1 level and potential top broodmare or stallion prospects don't they?
    • Both the pedigree and the racetrack performances of Manifique (NZ) (Savabeel) make her a major drawcard in the latest fortnightly auction on gavelhouse.com. Bidding currently stands at $27,000 for the royally bred Group Two performer and is due to close around 7.30pm on Monday. Manifique is by New Zealand’s 10-time champion sire Savabeel, who is also putting together an outstanding record as a broodmare sire. His daughters have produced the Group One winners Never Been Kissed (NZ) (Tivaci), Icebath (NZ) (Sacred Falls), Savatoxl (Kuroshio), Beauty Eternal (Starspangledbanner), Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree) and Gringotts (NZ) (Per Incanto). The dam of Manifique is New Zealand’s 2011-12 Champion Stayer, Shez Sinsational (NZ) (Ekraar), who won 12 races including the Group One Livamol Classic (2040m), Zabeel Classic (2000m), Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) and Auckland Cup (3200m), along with the Group Two Hollindale Stakes (1800m) on the Gold Coast. Her three Group One placings included the Queensland Derby (2400m) and Queensland Oaks (2400m). Shez Sinsational is the dam of four winners including Manifique as well as her high-class half-sisters Sinarahma (NZ) (Darci Brahma) and House Of Cartier (Alamosa). That pair were Group Two and Group Three winners respectively, and they also placed at Group One level – Sinarahma in the Thorndon Mile (1600m) and House Of Cartier in the Australasian Oaks (2000m). Another of Manifique’s half-sisters, Repenting (NZ) (Ekraar), is the dam of the dual stakes winner Our Hail Mary (NZ) (Ocean Park). Manifique was a $420,000 yearling purchase from Book 1 of Karaka 2020 by her part-owner Glen Cotterill. From 26 starts, Manifique has recorded four wins and six placings and has earned $174,635 in stakes. She made a huge impression with back-to-back victories in the spring of 2023, winning a Rating 75 at New Plymouth by four and a half lengths before a stunning eight-length runaway in a $70,000 open handicap at Trentham. Manifique went on to add some black type to her impressive CV, finishing second in this year’s Group Two Awapuni Gold Cup (2100m) and recording a pair of fourth placings in the Listed Wairarapa Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m). Spelled not long after her Awapuni Gold Cup placing in the autumn, Manifique has now returned to Didham’s Awapuni stable and has been showing good signs in her pacework and gallops. She is being sold as either a racing or breeding proposition. Manifique is one of 53 lots currently open for bidding on gavelhouse.com. Bidding will close on the first lot from 7pm on Monday.
