As we move into the final days before NZB’s inaugural National Yearling Sale, we have highlighted yearlings who have received timely pedigree updates since the catalogue went to print back in late 2018.

Group One

• Group One 2018 Inter Dominion and 2019 Hunter Cup winner Tiger Tara has to get top ranking, but blink and you will miss it because his three lots in Christchurch from the Late Ray Anicich’s ‘Tara’ family sell concurrently at Lots 339, 340 and 341.
