Such a move between the two governments would, in particular, provide a significant boost to the prospects of a relatively healthy New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale next January. For months, NZB had debated whether to delay its national sale to April next year in the hope of more favourable economic conditions and a loosening of travel restrictions relating to the Covid-19 pandemic but in the end chose to maintain its traditional slot following the Magic Millions offering on the Gold Coast. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and New Zealand counterpart Jacinda Ardern, who is facing an election on October 17, have this week pledged support towards an outcome that would allow travel between the two countries. New Zealand’s foreign affairs minister Winston Peters, who also acts as racing minister, has also publicly backed calls for the bubble to be implemented which would also facilitate buyers being able to attend the respective Inglis sales in Sydney and Melbourne next year. Australian PM Scott Morrison supports the plan Andrew Seabrook, NZB’s managing director, yesterday welcomed the speculation but stopped short of suggesting Australian participants will “If they come out now and say, ‘look, the border’s going to open in definitely be on the ground at Karaka next year.

It would be massive if it did happen.” and it’s great to have Winston, as the racing minister, speaking on the There is no suggestion, however, that a travel bubble will be in place in subject of getting the borders open. time for the upcoming Inglis Ready2Race Sale or the Magic Millions Gold “I’m cautiously optimistic, so fingers crossed we do get a bubble in Coast 2YOs in Training Sale, nor the NZB Ready to Run Sale on November place, but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves just yet.” 18 and 19. Ardern and Morrison discussed the travel bubble issue on Tuesday “Auckland will be going to Level 1 (Covid-19 restrictions) shortly, I’m night and the New Zealand Prime Minister yesterday suggested the ability sure, as long as everything stays the same and it will still be a physical sale to trace and prevent travellers located in Australian Covid-19 hotspots with all the Kiwis live on site, of course, and people from around the world remains as a sticking point on the trans-Tasman bubble proposal. will be bidding via online,” Seabrook said. "Essentially what a hotspot system would do, it would shut down “The great thing about the Australians, most of them have got good those areas where there were heightened cases, while allowing the rest to relationships with people over here who they can rely on to look at horses be open.
