Karaka at 100: New Zealand Yearlings Set to Shine

Straight Talk previews the 100th NZB National Yearling Sale at Karaka, capturing the upbeat atmosphere, great weather, strong catalogue and many buyers arriving from Magic Millions.   Tim and Bren discuss Karaka’s reputation for producing high-quality middle-distance horses and the current advantage for Australian buyers due to the exchange rate. Interviews with Andrew Seabrook and John Foote highlight renewed confidence in New Zealand breeding, increased investment, and the trade-focused challenge of actually selling the horses once the rings open.
