The first day of New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready To Run Sale of 2YOs will commence at their Karaka sales complex on Wednesday, November 20, at 11am.

The leading sale of its kind in the southern hemisphere, the Ready To Run sale has provided the winners of 19 Group One races and 140 Stakes races in the last six seasons.

Multiple Group One winners Mongolian Khan, Turn Me Loose, Gingernuts and Beat The Clock are all graduates of Australasia’s leading breeze-up sale, while Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m) placegetter Te Akau Shark was purchased for $230,000 by Te Akau principal David Ellis.

Gr.2 Bill Stutt Stakes (1600m) winner The Holy One is a $160,000 graduate of the sale for Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young, while talented stayer Surprise Baby failed to meet a $35,000 reserve through Rich Hill Stud’s 2016 Ready To Run Sale draft.

The 2019 edition of the Ready to Run will be held at Karaka on November 20 and 21.
