Karaka Day 2 | Exceptional Value

27 January, 2025

THAT’S A WRAP ON DAY 2 OF THE KARAKA SALE!

We're excited to announce that we've secured six exceptional yearlings today that will join the Te Akau Racing family, ready to race in the iconic Te Akau tangerine colours we all know and love.

From the full brother to Group 2 winner Wild Night to the half-sister of multiple stakes' winner Brando, we’ve secured stunning yearlings brimming with promise. Following our success with La Dorada (Gold Fever) in the TAB Karaka Million 2YO, we’re particularly passionate about investing in pedigrees from families we’ve thrived with before. We’ve also uncovered exceptional value across the sale so far, with some lots already snapped up and sold!

But we’re not stopping here! The final day of Book 1 selling is tomorrow, and we’ll be aiming to pick up even more value for our owners. We’ll also be doing a little shopping in Book 2.
