Siblings to Turn Me Loose, Arkansaw Kid, Bella Vella, Krone and Eloping – the dam of In Secret – are among the youngsters who will be offered at this year's New Zealand Bloodstock's Ready to Run Sale, the catalogue for which has been released.

A total of 404 two-year-olds will be offered at the sale, which will be held on November 20 and 21.

Last year's sale hit record highs and New Zealand Bloodstock's managing director Andrew Seabrook is excited about seeing what can be achieved this year.

"We've got a big job to match last year's record Sale, but with the calibre of horses assembled in this year's catalogue, we are certainly heading in the right direction," Seabrook said.

"The horses produced for this sale by our horsemen and women continue to make headlines for themselves and the honour roll just continues to grow.

"We've had a huge amount of interest in the Sale already, people are itching to get back to Karaka.

"Our bloodstock team are working hard canvassing in Australia, Hong Kong, Europe and although we may have lost Singapore, we have built strong relationships with emerging markets like Malaysia, China and Korea.

"It's an exciting time and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back for the best sale of its kind."

Golden Sixty, Lucky Sweynesse and Mr Brightside are established star graduates, while Warmonger and Pulchritudinous are recent Group 1 winners who came through the sale.

The 2024 Ready to Run Sale catalogue features the progeny of 101 of the biggest names in the stallion ranks of Australasia and further afield, including proven champions Savabeel, Frankel, I Am Invincible, Snitzel, Deep Field, Proisir and Written Tycoon.

Antipodean, Hard Too Think, Mascarpone, Sassy 'n' Smart and Saint Alice are among the others who have siblings in the catalogue, while close relations to Verry Elleegant, Lion's Roar and Santa Ana Lane will also be offered.

The 2024 Ready to Run Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre from 11am (NZT) November, with Breeze Ups to be held at Te Rapa Racecourse on 21 & 22 October.
