Debutants Wednesday

NZB have released an outstanding catalogue of 1088 for their Karaka Book 1 and 2 Yearling Sales in January, so we’re taking a look at the leading sires and vendors to form a better picture of just what will be drawing the Aussie contingent across the Tasman in the New Year.

The spring carnival might be over, but the G1 action is now in Perth and a Queenslander took the top prize and we are also looking at a few other stakes-winners that hold the promise of more to come.

Here is the full list of 10 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.
