Newgate Farm’s Capitalist: A Shining Star in Thoroughbred Excellence Supporting Spinal Cord Injury Research

Step into the spotlight and join us for an unforgettable evening of elegance, philanthropy, and celebration at The CatWalk Trust’s LUMINARY event!

Ladies, it’s time to dust off your most dazzling dresses, and gentlemen, don your sharpest suits – because on Saturday, June 22, we’re rolling out the red carpet at the newly refurbished Newmarket Room at Ellerslie Racecourse, Auckland, New Zealand.

Tickets to this magical soirée are available now, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in an evening of glamour and giving. With a lineup of exciting events, including live entertainment, gourmet dining, and much more, LUMINARY promises a night to remember.

But that’s not all! A shining star of the evening is our highly anticipated charity auction, where generosity knows no bounds. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, CatWalk has raised invaluable funds year after year to support cutting-edge research to cure spinal cord injury.

This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Newgate Farm to the live auction stage! Led by the visionary Henry Field, Newgate Farm stands as a beacon of excellence in the thoroughbred industry. With bold stallion selections and a commitment to top-tier care, they’ve risen to become one of Australasia’s leading thoroughbred farms in just 14 short years.

Among their stellar lineup stands Capitalist, the Champion Australian Two-Year-Old of 2015/16, whose lightning-fast speed and impact on the track are matched only by his influence in the breeding shed. Capitalist’s progeny have earned nearly $8 million this season alone, making him a coveted asset for breeders worldwide.

Thanks to Newgate’s generous contribution, we’re thrilled to announce that a service fee to Capitalist will be up for grabs at our LUMINARY event. Don’t miss your chance to bid on this exclusive opportunity to support world-class spinal cord injury research! For more information and to secure your tickets to LUMINARY, visit www.catwalk.org.nz.

Together, let’s make a difference!
