That's A Wrap On Karaka Day 1

27 January, 2025

Fresh off winning the TAB Karaka Millions 2YO & 3YO, the celebrations haven’t stopped! Te Akau were back in action today, securing 12 yearlings at the Karaka Yearling Sales.

With sires like Savabeel, Super Seth, Proisir, Wootton Bassett, Home Affairs and Rebel Dane we genuinely have something for everyone. What sets this year apart is the remarkable diversity across all price ranges - we've snapped up many yearlings under budget, offering outstanding value for our ownership family.

We are proud to offer shares in promising young horses across all price ranges from $50,000 to $340,000.

This sale holds special significance as we set our sights on the future 2YO races we cherish! Having won 8 of the last nine Karaka Millions 2YO's, you can bet we are hunting down our 2026 winner, along with horses that will target Group races across New Zealand, and also in Australia from our Cranbourne stable.

In addition to our 21 purchases on the Gold Coast in January, Te Akau has now secured a total of 33 yearlings for syndication and we're not finished at Karaka yet! We just love this time of year, securing new young horses brimming with promise and potential!

Our buying team (brains' trust), led by David Ellis CNZM, alongside trainers Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson, Marcus Corban and Reece Trumper conducts an exhaustive, in-depth preparation before every sale. On-farm inspections began in late November in Australia, followed by extensive follow-up a week prior to the Gold Coast sale. Similarly, for Karaka, inspections at farms began in December and intensified in January, culminating in our short-list ready to bring home the horses we want for our owners to enjoy!

There's no better time to get involved with Te Akau. If you want to win the Karaka Millions, securing a share from Karaka is the way to go. If you are keen on winning a Magic Millions, then check out our Gold Coast 'kids'!

From affordable opportunities to high-calibre prospects for racing purists, we have worked tirelessly to secure the very best - and we are proud to now present the most impressive selection of yearlings anyone could want.
