About the Karaka Million race

Late last January, the hammer went down at the National Yearling Sales in Karaka and hundreds of finely-bred one-year-old horses were sold to new homes in the hopes of becoming the next 'big thing' in thoroughbred racing.

This year at Ellerslie, 14 of the top earning horses from the sales(all who are now two-year-olds) will race head-to-head in New Zealand's richest race, the $1,000,000 Karaka Million - under the gaze of the glitterati of the racing world and Auckland's social set.
