“Big fish, small pond is key for this Sale, if you take a good horse, you get rewarded.” “We genuinely hope people make money out of what they buy from us and that they’ll be back. “There are horses in our draft that will be great for end users, as well as pinhookers, whether they pinhook to yearling or pinhook to two-year-old, plus there are fillies that will have proper residual value. It’s a cliché, but there really something for everyone. “So many kiwis got blown away in Australia with the dollar the way it is at the moment, so I think there’s a genuine thirst for nice horses in this market.” @hallmarkstud are looking forward to presenting 10 quality weanlings at this week’s National Weanling Sale.🐴📗 Catch Mark Baker & the team at Barn E, or view their draft here💻: nzb.co.nz/sales/26nwg?search… NZB's National Weanling Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre on Thursday 25 June 2026 from 11am (NZT).

NZB Filly of the Year Series Standouts Set to Shine at Ellerslie ✨ The 10-race card features the sixth leg of the NZB Filly of the Year Series, the Group Two Hallmark Stud Eight Carat Classic (1600m). The quality line-up for that $270,000 feature is headed by #Lollapalooza (NZ) (El Roca), who sits in second place on the table with 16 points. 👀 #WellWritten's absence could leave an opening for Lollapalooza to reclaim the NZB Filly of the Year Series lead, with the winner of the Eight Carat Classic to earn 8 points in the NZB Filly of the Year Series, with 4 for second and 2 for third. The @hallmarkstud Eight Carat Classic will be run as Race 7 on an exceptional Boxing Day card at @Ellerslie_Races on Friday, with a scheduled start time of 4.18pm.
