1103 yearlings set to go through the rescheduled sale which will now be held in March.

Catalogues have been released for Book 1 and Book 2 of New Zealand Bloodstock's Karaka 2022 sale, which has been pushed back from its long-standing late-January slot due to COVID-19. Book 1 will now run from Monday 7 to Wednesday 9 March, followed immediately by Book 2 from Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 March.

A total of 1103 yearlings are set to go through the ring during the six-day sale, including an exceptional line-up of 636 yearlings showcased in the elite Book 1 session.

The sale contains 30 siblings to Group One winners, plus the progeny of 99 stakes-winning mares including ten at the elite level.

In the last six years alone, there have been 141 Group One victories recorded by 83 individual Group One stars sourced from NZB Sales. Just last season, Karaka graduates won 32 Group One races and scored a total of 108 black type successes. 

The high-quality line up features the progeny of 97 different sires, including all of the top five names on this season's stallion premierships on both sides of the Tasman.

For the second year, buyers who are unable to physically attend the Sale will be able to participate via NZB's user-friendly online bidding platform.

New Zealand-based agents are also available to complete inspections on behalf of international buyers at on farm parades and at the iconic Karaka Sales Centre.
