Figures reflect economic conditions

New Zealand Bloodstock were pleased with the overall results of their 99th yearling sale in 2025, particularly the higher clearance rate for Book 2 compared to previous years, but there was a sharp downturn in vital metrics. Both the median (NZ$26,750) and average (NZ$36,144), were down on 2024 median (NZ$32,250) and average (NZ$43,185).

“The figures don’t disguise the fact that there has been a softening in the market. The positive to come out of this Sale is the good increase in clearance rate,” said NZB’s Managing Director Andrew Seabrook.

“We have seen a reduction in the average and median, compared with last year’s record sale, which I think can be directly attributed to the state of the economy. It’s not at all reflective of the positivity that’s in the racing industry at the moment and the great vibe that’s been around all week.”

Book 2 saw a change of format, reduced to a two day sale from three, but with similar numbers of horses through the ring. In 2024, 265 horses sold, and this rose slightly in 2025 to 270 thanks to an improved clearance rate of 76 per cent (up from 70 per cent in 2024).

Kane Jones, New Zealand Bloodstock's Bloodstock Sales Manager, went on to comment: “We are particularly pleased with the clearance rate of 76 per cent, which will continue to climb, and it's up significantly in the past two to three years of selling at Book 2.”

“I think the clearance rate is what we need to focus on and be proud of. Vendors have come to meet the market and the quality horses have sold particularly well.”

Across both books, the clearance rate rose to 79 per cent (up from 76 per cent in 2024) and whilst down year-on-year, the median and average were comparable with 2023.

The entire five day sale grossed NZ$86,061,500, with the median dipping from NZ$90,000 in 2024 to NZ$80,000 in 2025. The median in 2023 was also NZ$80,000.

“We were thrilled to see so many people on the grounds for Book 1 and then the Karaka Millions raceday was outstanding with really high quality racing, which kicked us off into a really solid sale,” said Jones.

“I would just like to thank everyone who attended from near and far and the vendors for bringing quality horses to the market.”

Shamexpress makes an impact

Windsor Park Stud’s Shamexpress (NZ) has been riding the wave of success on the back of the outstanding form of his outstanding Hong Kong sprinting son Ka Ying Rising (NZ).

Throughout both books, Windsor Park presented five progeny by the son of O’Reilly (NZ) and they were rewarded substantially with 80 per cent selling for $100,000 or more at an average of NZ$112,000, a healthy figure off his 2022 service fee of $10,000 (plus GST).

On Day 2 of Book 2, Ben Kwok went to NZ$120,000 to purchase his colt out of Blinkie (NZ) (Turn Me Loose {NZ}), while Patella Bloodstock parted with NZ$125,000 to secure his colt out of High Tail It (NZ) (High Chaparral {Ire}).

Rodney Schick, Stud Master and co-owner of Windsor Park Stud, spoke specifically about Lot 1082, explaining that he was a “lovely horse, very much in the style of Shamexpress. Great colour to him and great markings, very physical and a general standout.”

“It’s great that young Nick Kneebone has come back to New Zealand to train, it’s nice for him to get a nice horse like this colt.”

When speaking about Shamexpress and his results throughout the week, Schick was very proud to mention, “he’s only got small numbers, but when you leave a high class racehorse like Ka Ying Rising, it makes it a lot easier to sell them.”

International buyers bounce back at the top end

It was interesting to note that international buyers were making their presence felt on Day 2, especially after local buyers led the way on Day 1. At the end of the day, five colts that sold for over NZ$100,000 will be making their way offshore at some stage in their careers.

The presence of buyers like Upper Bloodstock, John Foote, Tartan Meadow Bloodstock, Lindsay Park Racing/Rob Slade, and Ben Kwok indicates that the international market is very active in Book 2, particularly at the top end of the market.

The purchase of Lot 964 by Slade Bloodstock and Lindsay Park Racing is an exciting one, especially given the colt’s pedigree; he is a full brother to the three-time winner and multiple stakes-placed gelding Tibetan (NZ) (Shocking) and a half-brother to Our Jumala (NZ) (Zed {NZ}), who was successful four times and placed in the G3 Manawatu Breeders’ Stakes.

The colt by Shocking from the 5-time winning Al Akbar mare Baltis (NZ) was purchased for NZ$115,000.

The Thoroughbred Report caught up with Rob Slade the Managing Director of Slade Bloodstock who said, “we were rapt to get the colt. Myself, the Hayes boys and Josh Rix all really liked him.”

“He is a really nice colt, he reminded me of Here To Shock in many ways, whom I also bought at Karaka… could lightning strike twice?”

Foote takes a shine to Aladdin

The dominance of Satono Aladdin (Jpn) has been impressive at Book 2 of the Karaka National Yearling Sales, with his progeny making a mark on both Day 1 and Day 2 - rewarding the breeders who backed him on his $12,500 (plus GST) 2022 service fee.

It’s clear that his stock is in high demand, especially with John Foote leading the charge. Foote’s ability to secure high-quality yearlings and make key purchases like Lot 1079, which went for NZ$150,000, demonstrates his confidence in the stallion's ability to produce top-level horses in Australia and Hong Kong.

Satono Aladdin has ended up siring both the top lots on both days, which solidifies his position as one of the most influential stallions in New Zealand. John Foote’s eight purchases, totaling $750,000 across the two days, and the colt from Highden Park, in particular, seems to have caught the eye with his pedigree and potential.

“I thought he was the nicest horse on the grounds,” Foote said.

“He had a fair bit of High Chaparral in him, which is always a great thing. So I was pretty happy to get him for that price. He comes from that very good Prized Gem family.”

“He was bought for David Price and will be going to Victoria and then potentially to Hong Kong.”

“John Thompson has got a good stallion on his hands with Satono Aladdin. He’s blessed, John. He’s got Proisir and Satono and Ace High doing well too, so he’s on fire.

“It’s been a bit tough on the second day actually, we got beaten a few times earlier in the day and then we managed to buy two this afternoon.

“I’ve just been told Karaka opened in 1988, and I’ve been here since then,” he said. “Before that, I went to Trentham.

“I love Book 2. There’s some really nice horses at the right price.”

Wentwood Grange Stud's Yearling Manager Brad Molander was born into a racing family. The son of a trainer, he spent his childhood around horses with early memories of attending yearling sales.

Strapping on weekends and during school holidays, Brad was destined to work with thoroughbreds. It was always the dream to have shares in horses, to head to the track and cheer them on, but a passion for the breeding side developed.

After spending time working at Blue Gum Farm in Victoria and Lane's End Farm in Kentucky, Brad returned to the country of his birth to work for Wentwood Grange in 2016.

Taking the dive - breeding racehorses

It was initially due to be a short stint, but Brad loves the farm he describes as “horse heaven” and working with the Hawkins family has enabled him “the opportunity to take a dive and breed my own horses.”

Teaming with friend John Atkinson (Wentwood Grange's farrier), Brad made his first broodmare purchase in August 2021, securing for just $600 the well related Missouri (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB}).

Originally a $30,000 yearling purchased by Trevor McKee, Missouri filled a placing once in six starts and didn't catch the eye when placed in an online Gavelhouse sale.

Well she didn't catch other people's eye but she looked the goods for Brad who said “I don't know why she was so cheap. We've actually tried to sell her twice since we bought her but she has not attracted any bids!”

Impressed by her on type, Brad was also “really loved” Missouri's genetics.

“She is by Iffraaj who is doing a phenomenal job as a broodmare sire and she is out of a mare by Redoute's Choice, who was my favourite stallion when I was growing up.”

Missouri hails from a family well known for producing tough gallopers in Australia, her dam All Our Chips (Redoute's Choice) being a half-sister to the Listed James HB Carr Stakes winner Poppett (Mukaddamah {USA}).

All Our Chips' dam is a full sister to the stakes-placed All Sold (Northern Spring {Ire}) who did such a great job with her eight winners, including the durable multiple Group 1 winner All Our Mob (What A Guest {Ire}), the G1 1000 Guineas heroine All Time High (Flying Spur) and the four-time Group winning sprinter All Archie (Archregent {Can}).

When it came time to choose a mate for Missouri's debut season, Brad and John were happy to settle on Cambridge Stud's G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas winner Embellish (NZ).

“As a yearling manager, I had worked with quite a few of his first crop progeny and I really liked them, they had good bone and good brains.”

The first foal from the match pleased his breeders who thought that the 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock National Weanling Sale would be a good fit for Missouri's son.

In The Air makes breeders proud

He was sold for $27,500 (the highest priced Embellish weanling at that sale) with Brad and John delighted that he was purchased by Chris Rutten to be trained by Roydon Bergerson.

Fast forward and that horse, now two, is named In The Air (NZ) and he is already doing his breeders proud, winning over 1000 metres at Tauherenikau in early January before taking his place in the R. Listed Karaka 2YO Millions last weekend.

Always wide from an outside gate, In The Air was unfortunately at the rear of the field, but Brad was still delighted.

“It was amazing to go that meeting having bred one of the runners,” he said, “and it was lovely to go and give him a pat having not seen him since he was sold.”

“He raced greenly and got a bit lost, but the stable are confident that there is more to come from him.”

With Missouri's second Embellish colt looking to be more of a later 2-year-old/3-year-old type, his breeders decided to “take the punt" and wait for the yearling sales, hopeful that In The Air would show talent and “boost the pedigree.”

Again providing Embellish with his best sales result, the colt made his way through the Karaka ring on Wednesday with a number of good judges on him.

Off a $4,000 service fee fetching $100,000, the colt provided his breeders with “a life-changing” result; an outstanding effort not only for such a cheap mare but also for small breeders who have only a couple of other mares in partnership with Wentwood Grange.

Amazing, emotional, bittersweet

“It was an amazing and emotional experience,” Brad said, though also “bittersweet; it is pretty hard to let them go!”

But things could not have worked out better with the colt purchased by trainer Ross McCarroll who is “just down the road from us.”

“The colt is actually coming back to Wentwood before he is broken in so I will get to spend more time with him, and we are going to keep a little share.”

Brad is happy to be sharing the experience and the success with John Atkinson who he said “works incredibly hard over the whole sales period, shoeing for quite a few major farms.”

“It is amazing to see him get a result and experience this side of the industry.”

Hopefully there there is plenty to come for their young horse and also from his dam who is currently in foal to Shamexpress (NZ).

Sword Of State colt's big fan club

Another $100,000 result for a Cambridge Stud stallion provided a great Karaka story with Lot 756 purchased by St Kilda Lodge.

A first crop son of the G1 Sistema Stakes winner Sword Of State, the colt presented by Little Avondale Stud had the sale ring alight when the hammer went down as he had not just one or two owners happy with the result, but 11!

“One was crying, they were all gasping, high-fiving and hugging,” said a delighted Sam Williams whose idea it get his staff together to buy a weanling.

It is something they have been doing for the last few years, and what started out as a way of nurturing and educating staff members has also turned out to be a great team-building exercise.

“You just can't buy morale boosting like this!,” Sam said.

“When we first thought of this it was to show our younger staff what it takes to get a horse to the sales, to have them really be involved rather than just going through the motions.”

“It was a way to nurture the next generation involved in this amazing game of ours. We hope that this is what their careers will be.”

And it certainly worked out well, with the Sword Of State colt winning hearts and ending up, Sam laughed, a little spoilt when it came to the bells and whistles.

“I had a look at the posh rug he had on at the sales and I said, 'I don't remember buying that!'”

“Ah, we bought that,” was the rather sheepish reply from the Little Avondale staff members who had understandably fallen in love with their charge.

And little wonder, the colt is “a gun” according to Sam. “He settled in so well at the sales and he was just a dream,” he said.

A nice bonus

With each owner ending up with around $8,000 (“a nice little bonus”) in their pocket, Sam is looking forward to their next weanling sale venture, laughing as he said “I might let them spend a little bit more next time, maybe up to $15,000!”

It was just $13,000 that secured this colt who impressed Sam at the 2024 New Zealand Bloodstock National Weanling Sale.

“He had that bit of presence and vitality and being by a first season sire who we liked, we thought let's jump on this one.”

“As it turned out, Sword Of State is one of the hottest first season sire and everyone has been on them."

When the weanling sale catalogue comes out, Sam gets his staff (who must be full time, if they leave they forgo their share) to go through the pedigrees and pick out who they like.

“Then I go and have a look at them and suggest who to have a crack at within their budget.”

Sam enjoyed the colt's time in the ring, noting that “the master auctioneer Steve Davis was making it entertaining, telling everyone that they should bid on the staff horse!”

A half-brother to the stakes-placed Ohio Showgirl (NZ) (Showcasing {GB}), the staff colt is out of the unplaced Ohio Girl (NZ) (O'Reilly {NZ}) whose dam Falsetto (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}) was placed in the G1 New Zealand Oaks won by Legs (NZ) (Pins).

Turning $500 into $300,000

It was another exciting New Zealand based first season sire who provided a hard stud worker with a great result, Waikato Stud's Dry Mare Manager Simon Lawson in celebratory mode after selling Lot 282 to Wexford Stables for $300,000.

An superlative effort when considering the mare cost Simon just $500 online!

The story of this colt goes back to five years ago when Simon first began work at Waikato Stud, making a career switch after a successful career driving trotters.

It happened to be the year that Waikato had bred a Savabeel colt who really caught the eye, Simon describing him as “a phenomenal yearling.”

“I remember him being so popular at the sales, he was constantly out of his box and even though he was buggered by the end of it, he never turned a hair.”

The colt was Noverre (NZ), sold to David Ellis for $800,000 before embarking on a short but impressive career that saw him win three of his seven starts including, at his finale, the G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas.

Waikato had remained in his ownership and were keen to welcome him back into the fold, as was Simon who said that he “absolutely loved him as a racehorse.”

“It's just a shame that he never got to go to Australia,” he said; Noverre retired young having incurred ligament damage.

A share in Noverre? Hell yeah!

Simon expressed interest in taking a share in Noverre and when reminded of this by Mark Chittick he was quick to put his hand up; “I said hell yeah!'"

And so the search for the right mare began, Simon hunting through “Gavelhouse for a long time” before coming across the unraced Serenella (NZ) (Jimmy Choux {NZ}).

“I was looking for a mare who had family members coming through and I had worked a fair bit with her grandam who had thrown a good horse. She had a few injuries including a broken wither which I think turned people off, but her owners had done the right thing by her and, by the time she got to me, she had recovered.”

“A sweetheart born to be a mother” is how Simon describes Serenella who “absolutely loves her foals and she does so well by them.”

Her $300,000 son is her first foal, one who has “been lovely all the way through.”

“I am just noting the similarities in temperament at the sales between him and his sire,” he said, both horses remaining chilled through dozens of inspections.

Several dozen in fact, Simon's colt taken out 174 times!

“At the start of the week all I knew was that I had a nice colt but he became the second most popular horse in the draft so I was thinking that he was going to get a special price. But I was not thinking $300,000 special!”

“There were not just two people on him,” he said, “there were plenty of good judges who liked him. I was standing with Mark watching and he patted me on the back when he got to $200,000 and I had a big smile on my face then!”

And when the hammer went down, a tear or two. “It was pretty special,” he said, looking forward to putting a bit of a dent in his mortgage.

A perfect marriage

Simon is excited to have another Noverre colt out of Serenella who is back in foal to him; “she is married to him at the moment,” he laughed.

The thrill of the successful sale had many levels to it for Simon, who is proud of the stallion he loves and delighted that he is “not the only one who believes in him.”

He is also proud of his mare, of the colt himself and of the Waikato team who he said were such a great help along the way; “everyone treated him like he was one of the stud's own horses,” he said.

Mark Chittick was also thrilled. “I am very proud of our team, they put a lot of time and effort in and it was great to see one of our members get such a great result.”

A half-sister to the G1 Queensland Derby winner Kovalica (NZ) (Ocean Park {NZ}), Serenella hails from a high class New Zealand family, her dam Vitesse (NZ) (Makfi {GB}) being a half-sister to the triple Group 1 winner The Bostonian (NZ) (Jimmy Choux) whilst her grandam is a half-sister to the two-time New Zealand Horse Of The Year Mufhasa (NZ) (Pentire {GB}).

Pride’s Ceolwulf leads home Waller’s stable stars

Joseph Pride’s dual Group 1 winner Ceolwulf (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}) led home a star-studded opening trial at Warwick Farm on Thursday morning, followed 1.68l behind by Chris Waller's super mare Via Sistina (Ire) (Fastnet Rock), with stablemate Fangirl (Sebring) on her heels. Their G1 Empire Rose Stakes-winning stablemate Atishu (NZ) (Savabeel) finished fifth in her second trial of the month.

Speaking to Racing HQ, Pride confirmed that the 4-year-old gelding will resume in the G2 Apollo Stakes in mid February, before heading to the G1 Verry Elleegant Stakes, which will inform where he runs before his intended autumnal grand finale in the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Last year John Foote Bloodstock (FBAA) paid $260,000 for his half-sister by Almanzor (Fr) at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale. The filly now named Lupa Capitolina (NZ) has also made her way to Pride’s stable, who said that it is still “early days” with her.

In December, Willingham signed the docket for Via Sistina’s 3-year-old half-sister Via Sienna (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) at the 2024 Arqana Deauville Vente d’Élevage for €400,000 ($668,168). She has yet to race.

Lady Shenandoah revs engine in high calibre heat

The second trial at Warwick Farm on Thursday was also packed with some of Sydney’s top gallopers, with star Waller filly Lady Shenandoah (Snitzel) leading the field home, letting down impressively to win by 1.41l over returning G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Switzerland (Snitzel). $1 million Silver Eagle winner Ostraka (Pariah) finished third, with G1 1000 Guineas runner-up Aeliana (NZ) (Castelvecchio) further down the field.

The trial was also the first public outing for Godolphin’s Golden Mile (Astern), returning to the racetrack as a gelding after injury curtailed his stud career in the spring.

Earlier in the weekend, Aeliana’s co-owner Denise Martin confirmed to racing.com that Waller has Oaks plans for the G3 Carbine Club Stakes-winning 3-year-old.

“Chris has a very interesting program in mind at the moment, and it's a very exciting one," she said. “It starts off with the (G1) Surround on the first of March and possibly a fortnight later in the (G2) Phar Lap, and if that went well, she could progress to the (G1) Vinery and then ultimately the Oaks if she was handling things well.”

It was announced earlier in January that Switzerland is being aimed at the G1 Lightning Stakes first up, with planning for a trip to Royal Ascot already underway.

A half-brother to Lady Shenandoah by Maurice (Jpn) will be on offer at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, as Lot 187 in Arrowfield Stud’s draft, and Lot 76 in the same draft is a full brother to Switzerland. Earlier this week, Star Thoroughbred and Randwick Bloodstock Agency (FBAA) paid $300,000 to take home Aeliana’s half-sister by Proisir out of Rich Hill Stud’s draft at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale.

Strada Varenna and Tuscany impress in hot trial return

Tuscany (Zoustar) might have won by a bob of the head in his trial at Warwick Farm on Thursday morning, but Bjorn Baker’s Strada Varenna (Street Boss {USA}) showed serious speed to keep up with the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained colt, with a 4.5l gap back to the rest of the field.

The 2-year-old filly won a September trial before being put away for the spring, whereas Tuscany was beaten just 1.96l in the G3 Breeders Plate before taking a break.

A full brother to Tuscany and talented entire Schwarz (Zoustar) will be offered as Lot 198 in Widden Stud’s Easter draft in April. Summer Sham delivered a full sister in the spring, before revisiting Zoustar in October.

A daughter of G2 QTC Cup winner Varenna Miss (Redoute’s Choice), who is a half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Criterion, Strada Varenna was bought at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for $100,000 by Newgate Bloodstock from Emirates Park. Anthony Freedman Racing and Julian Blaxland Bloodstock (FBAA) spent $260,000 earlier this month to secure her half-sister by Tassort.

Broadsiding and Private Life gear up for more Group 1s

More spring stars stepped out in the third Warwick Farm trial, won by Richard Litt’s Bacchanalia (Exceed And Excel), with John O'Shea and Tom Charlton’s Linebacker (NZ) (Super Seth) at his second trial since returning as a gelding. G1 Caulfield Guineas winner Private Life (Written Tycoon) finished a comfortable fourth for the Waller stable, and the trial also saw the return of Godolphin’s G1 Golden Rose winner Broadsiding (Too Darn Hot {GB}).

Private Life’s Group 3-winning dam Aliyana Tilde (Snitzel) has a colt by Admire Mars (Jpn) at foot, and was subsequently covered by Dundeel (NZ). Garden Of Swans (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), dam of Linebacker and half-sister to Group 1-winning sire Mukhadram (GB), has a yearling by Dundeel yet to be offered for sale.

Texas and Pazyryk go head to head at Warwick Farm

Bjorn Baker’s debutante Texas (Nicconi) and a much improved Pazyryk (Lonhro) went toe-to-toe in a speedy juvenile trial at Warwick Farm on Thursday morning, with the Yulong-owned Algorithmic (Zoustar) chasing hard on their heels 2l behind.

Trained by James Cummings, Pazyryk finished down the track in two pre-Christmas trials and displayed a greater turn of foot in her return, finishing 0.09l behind Texas.

Bred by Godolphin, Pazyryk is the second living foal from dual Group 3 winner Raiment (Street Cry {Ire}).

Texas is a half-brother to R. Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic-winning Skirt The Law (Better Than Ready). His half-sister by Spirit Of Boom was purchased for $200,000 by Bennett Racing at the Gold Coast this month.

Aleppo Pine ready for route to Diamond

Godolphin 2-year-old Aleppo Pine (Blue Point {Ire}), winner of his only start in December at Ballarat, was a strong winner of his jump-out at Caulfield Heath on Thursday morning.

The colt readied himself with a softer run at Werribee a fortnight ago, and is currently third in the betting for the G1 Blue Diamond Stakes.

Aleppo Pine is a half-brother to five-time Group 2 winner Savatiano (Street Cry {Ire}), multiple Group-winning Vilana (Hallowed Crown), and dual Listed winner Athiri (Lonhro).

Dominant trial winner for Bivouac at Kembla

Benevac (Bivouac) looked to have plenty of promise in the way he accelerated away from the pack in a Kembla Grange trial on Thursday morning. The 2-year-old colt, trained by Ciaron Maher, debuted in a trial earlier month, where he finished third.

Benevac is a son of Listed Keith Mackay Handicap-placed Houston Benefactor (Encosta De Lago). Darley’s Bivouac has three winners to date, led by G2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes winner Intention (NZ).
