Stage Set for Selangor’s NZB Ready to Run Open Championship
A lucrative race at Selangor on Sunday will shine a spotlight on next month’s NZB Ready to Run Sale at Karaka as well as showcasing the high-quality graduates of the Sale that are currently racing in Malaysia.
The New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Open Championship (1400m), offering prize money of RM300,000, is held in recognition of the New Zealand Bloodstock’s strong affiliation with the Selangor Turf Club and the club’s commitment to support the Ready to Run Sale.
New Zealand is acclaimed by thoroughbred experts the world over as the ultimate thoroughbred nursery. Its temperate climate, ample rainfall, rich soil, lush green pastures and the expertise of our great horsemen and women combine to make New Zealand the perfect environment for breeding and raising superior thoroughbred racehorses. The fact that New Zealand thoroughbreds consistently outperform their competition in every country they race in is ideal testimony to this and New Zealand Bloodstock is proud to be the number-one supplier of such thoroughbreds to the world.
The New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Open Championship will be run as Race 10 at Selangor on Sunday, with a scheduled start time of 4.50pm local time (9.50pm NZDST).
The 2025 edition of the NZB Ready to Run Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre from 10am (NZT) on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 November, with Breeze Ups to be held at Te Rapa Racecourse on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 October.
