We love going to the New Zealand Bloodstock sales at Karaka to source our horses, and we thing we have secured two elite two year olds at the Ready To Run Sale. 

The NZB Ready To Run sale has produced Group 1 horses year after year. Mr Brightside, Te Akau Shark, Golden Sixty, Gingernuts and Ceolwulf just to name a few!

So we were delighted to secure two really nice horses from the sale. Firstly, lot 116 is a Contributer filly out of Pipsqueak Rose. She is out of a winning Alamosa mare, who is a half sister to Group 1 winner Lion's Roar. That makes our filly a 3/4 sister to a Group 1 winner!

Bred to stay, we were incredibly impressed with her breeze up. For a horse who will be aimed at classic staying races, she shows a lovely turn of foot in her breeze up, and was the 4th fastest filly of the entire sale. She is a stunning physical too, a big strong filly with plenty of scope, the perfect horse for John Sargent to guide to all the classic races in her 3yr old season. Watch her breeze up below!

Our second purchase was a strong gelding by outstanding sire Better Than Ready. He is out of a Fastnet Rock mare in Garter. He just looks a ready mare race horse this guy, and being fully paid up for the lucrative QTIS Bonus scheme, he looks the perfect horse to join our stable with Toby Edmonds. 

We loved the way he knuckled down and lengthened in his breeze up, and Toby and I were both really impressed with how he paraded at the sale. Much like all from the sire, he is a typical Better Than Ready. A great attitude, strong physical, and a real tough looking type. We have already had great success with the stallion with Cool N Ready and Ready To Schipp, so we can't wait to get this guy to the Gold Coast.
