The broodmare session at the upcoming New Zealand Bloodstock National Weanling & Broodmare Sale features a strong line up of stakes performers and broad stallion representation both within pedigrees and covering sires

Of the 70 mares to go under the hammer, 61 of which are being offered in foal to sires such as Proisir, Satono Aladdin, Super Seth, Sword of State, Tarzino, Ardrossan and more creating an opportunity for both pinhookers and end users to secure quality stock, with the session renowned as a proven source of investment success.

A catalogue featuring a high-quality selection of mares who performed up to stakes level on the racetrack or have already produced black-type progeny, there is also significant interest around the mares in foal to newcomers to the stallion ranks.

Aided by the Ferguson dispersal, Cambridge Stud’s Sword Of State has eight mares being offered in foal to him. By Snitzel out of a Group Two-placed Encosta De Lago mare, Sword Of State won six races including the Group One Sistema Stakes (1200m) and was New Zealand’s champion two-year-old in 2020-21.

There are also two mares being offered in foal to Noverre (NZ). A son of champion sire Savabeel, Noverre has returned to his birthplace to stand alongside his father at Waikato Stud. Bought by Te Akau Racing’s David Ellis for $800,000 as a yearling at Karaka, Noverre won three of his seven starts including a spectacular last-to-first performance in the Group One New Zealand 2000 Guineas.
