Entries for the National Standardbred Yearling Sale now open

Entries for NZB Standardbred’s 2024 National Yearling Sale are now open, with the Sale taking place next summer in Auckland on Sunday 18 February and Christchurch on Tuesday 20 to Wednesday 21 February.

The condensed three-day sale with a rest day between Auckland and Christchurch sessions allows the incorporation of trotters and pacers across all sale days as well as allowing time for travel and inspections.

NZB Standardbred Manager Cam Bray anticipates a solid session of trade at next year’s National Yearling Sale.

“NZB Standardbred has been entrusted with hosting New Zealand’s premier standardbred sale for five years now, and we’re proud to have provided significant increases in returns to breeders, vendors and owners during that time,” he commented.

“Since 2019 our combined aggregate has increased from $12 million to closer to $14 million, plus a steady increase in our average from $40,000 to $51,000.”

Entries for the Sale are open now and close at 5PM on Friday 28 July.
