New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale | 18 & 19 November 2026
On behalf of Windsor Park Stud, we are pleased to introduce our lots for next week’s New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale at Karaka. With more than 50 Group One winners and over 150 stakes winners among graduates of the farm, Windsor Park’s record is one we are proud to share with our clients. We invite you to explore our latest selection below.
Our selection features sons of Ace High, Vanbrugh, Armory and Profondo, with pedigree highlights ranging from stakes-performing siblings to Group-winning dams. Selling begins at 11am (NZT) on 18 and 19 November at the Karaka Sales Centre. Please get in touch to discuss your shortlist.
Lot 62 — Ace High × Suzie Kaye
Brown colt | Ohukia Lodge | Box H 22
200m breeze-up: 10.45 seconds
By Victoria Derby winner Ace High, this colt is out of the Savabeel mare Suzie Kaye and is a half-brother to four-time winner and Listed placegetter Kikimora. His dam is a half-sister to Group Two Wellington Guineas winner Barside – Sichuan Legend, while the wider family includes Melbourne Cup runner-up Maluckyday. Ace High’s progeny include Group One New Zealand 1000 Guineas winner Molly Bloom and Group Two Zipping Classic winner She’s A Hustler. His Melbourne three-year-old Blind Raise has added further momentum with victory in the Group Three Caulfield Guineas Prelude, complementing Listed wins in the ANZAC Day Stakes and McKenzie Stakes.
Lot 109 — Vanbrugh × Waitangi Zena
Chestnut colt | Pertab Racing | Box F 62
200m breeze-up: 11.57 seconds
A son of Group One winner Vanbrugh from the Rip Van Winkle mare Waitangi Zena, this colt comes from the family of dual Group One winner Lion Tamer and Group Three Caulfield Classic winner Mr Maestro. His full sister Chaos Creator was placed at two, adding a close-up juvenile performance to the pedigree. Vanbrugh has already produced dual Group One winner Mustang Valley, successful in the Livamol Classic and Arrowfield Plate, alongside Group Two winner Wild Night and stakes winner Sheez Dominant. Notably, Sheez Dominant is also out of a Rip Van Winkle mare — the same sire–broodmare sire combination offered here.
Lot 255 — Armory × Flavigny
Chestnut gelding | Riversley Park | Box B 37
200m breeze-up: 10.85 seconds
Out of Listed Wairarapa Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes winner Flavigny, this son of Armory is a half-brother to winners Felicienne and Cirque du Rose. Flavigny is a sister to Hong Kong Group Two placegetter Pingwu Spark, with the family tracing back to influential mare Slightly Dangerous. Armory made an immediate impression when his first runner, Silhouette, won on debut at two by four and a quarter lengths. Silhouette has since become a black-type performer. With his oldest progeny now three-year-olds, the Cox Plate runner-up’s early winners also include The Armorer and Armorware, providing encouraging first-crop evidence for buyers considering his next wave.
Lot 281 — Profondo × Hello It’s Me
Chestnut gelding | Pertab Racing | Box F 66
200m breeze-up: 11.26 seconds
Group One Spring Champion Stakes winner Profondo is represented by this gelding out of Group Two Royal Stakes winner Hello It’s Me. A five-time winner by Darci Brahma, his dam brings proven performance over distances from 1200m to 2000m. The wider family includes Caulfield Cup runner-up Kaapstad Way and Group One winner Balmuse. This gelding belongs to Profondo’s first crop, whose oldest members are now two-year-olds. The young sire has already been represented by Wildcatter, his first trial winner at Waipa in October. His yearlings have also achieved prices such as NZ$425,000 at Karaka, adding a commercial endorsement to those early signs on the training track.
Lot 395 — Armory × My Galatine
Bay colt | Riversley Park | Box B 49
200m breeze-up: 10.93 seconds
This Armory colt is a half-brother to winners Sperlari and Authority, out of the Guillotine mare My Galatine. His dam is a half-sister to Flavigny and Pingwu Spark, offering another opportunity to buy into the family represented by Lot 255. Sire Armory’s early progeny include Silhouette, a debut-winning two-year-old and black-type performer, and 1200m winners The Armorer and Armorware. Those initial results offer an encouraging start for the Galileo stallion, whose own record combined Group-winning juvenile form in Europe with a second placing in the Cox Plate.
