The catalogue for the most successful sale of two-year-olds in Australasia – New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale (20 & 21 November) – is now available online and on the free iPad application.
With Dynamic Syndications currently out of trading stock, we are intending to be active at this sale. We have had success in the past buying from this sale and we intend to do the same again.
This is a Sale that consistently sees its graduates perform at the highest level with Ready to Run Sale graduates having produced nine individual Group 1 winners in the last five seasons and has averaged 14 individual stakes winners every season over the same period.
The Ready to Run Sale has come off another highly successful season which saw its graduates win two Group 1 races in Australia and Hong Kong, and claim three Derby titles to take the Sale’s Derby tally to six since 2010.
Sangster (by Savabeel) was a headline performer for the Ready to Run Sale last year proving one of the best spring three-year-olds in Australia with his runaway success in the Group 1 VRC Derby. He was one of three graduates to win Derbies along with
Mr Ambassador (by Danasinga) winning the Perak Derby and
Fay Fay (by Falkirk) winning the coveted Hong Kong Derby.
Also in Hong Kong,
Able One (by Cape Cross) won his third Group 1 race, the Hong Kong Mile. Karaka graduates claimed 8 of the 11 Champion Awards in HK last season.
Graduates have also been making headlines in Singapore with
Flying Fulton (by Flying Spur) winning two stakes races.
The Ready to Run Sale has some hugely promising three-year-olds in Singapore including Super Ninetyseven (by Show a Heart), Huka Falls (by Align) and Silveron Warrior (by Spartacus) who have collectively won five of their six starts.
In addition, with
Six O’Clock News (by Zabeel) winning the Group 3 Trentham Stakes & Group 2 Wellington Cup double,
Linton (by Galileo) winning the Group 3 R.A. Lee Stakes and
Folding Gear (by Johar) taking his third Group win in the recent Naturalism Stakes, the Ready to Run Sale is unmatched when it comes to racetrack success.
The New Zealand Ready to Run Sale has produced a
Group 1 winner from every Sale for the last 10 years and this year’s catalogue features 407 well-bred athletic two-year-olds by a 115 different Australian and New Zealand sires.
