NZB and its Ready to Run Sale consignors and preparers will be responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date medical information to ensure the Breeze Ups are run smoothly and adhering to government Alert Level 3 regulations and protocols.   

For the second year, NZB will again be offering extended Breeze Up clips including additional footage near the 600 metre mark to capture horses before they fully extend into their gallop. As per usual, horses will also have the last 200 metres of their work individually timed.

Providing even more information for buyers, NZB will also be filming the mounting yard at Te Rapa, with all two-year-olds being paraded prior to their Breeze Up.

The full Breeze Ups clips and parade footage will be made available for viewing on NZB’s website by Friday 15 October, as well as streamed on Trackside in New Zealand, plus Sky Racing and Racing.com in Australia. 

Authorised New Zealand-based bloodstock agents are available to complete inspections on behalf of buyers at the Breeze Ups.
