“Quiet optimism” ahead of yearling sales

10th February 2021

“Quiet optimism” is how New Zealand Bloodstock Standardbred is approaching their up-coming yearling sales.

More than 420 horses will go under the hammer at Karaka (Feb 13 and 14) and Christchurch (Feb 15-17).

Because of Covid no Australians will be here in person, with registrations already open for on-line bidding.

NZB Director and Operations Manager James Jennings says the sales look set to be the best in a decade, both for quality and quantity and that everything seems to be “trending well.”
