There are good opportunities for both pinhookers and end users, with one of the highlights of last year’s National Online Sale being the sale of a Sacred Falls colt for $39,000 from the draft of Valentine Lodge that was subsequently prepared for the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale and fetched $300,000 from the Ohukia Lodge draft.
