Unrivalled NZB Ready to Run Sale Launches 2026 Catalogue The catalogue for the world’s leading two-year-old sale is now online, with NZB’s 2026 Ready to Run Sale set to take place at Karaka on 18 and 19 November. 💥💪 Peerless by every measure, NZB’s Ready to Run Sale graduates have won 33 Group One races and 115 stakes races in the last five seasons. Last season alone, graduates of the Sale won 26 black-type races, while graduates of both Australian 2YO sales combined claimed only 12 in the same period. 👊 Hong Kong Derby victor Invincible Ibis, plus Group One stars Ceolwulf, Mr Brightside, Gringotts, Lucky Sweynesse, Golden Sixty, Antino, Feroce, War Machine and Warmonger headline a remarkable list of recent graduates from this Sale. “If buyers are looking for proven performance, this is the one sale they need to attend,” commented NZB’s Managing Director Andrew Seabrook. The 2026 edition of the Ready to Run Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre from 11am (NZT) on 18 & 19 November, with Breeze Ups to be held across two consecutive days on one turf track at Te Rapa Racecourse on 12 & 13 October. 🗞 READ: nzb.co.nz/news/unrivalled-nz… 📙 CATALOGUE: nzb.co.nz/sales/26rtr
