Go ahead for NZB Yearling sales in Auckland and Christchurch

The up-coming NZB Standardbred National Yearling Sales will go ahead, even if New Zealand is at "red" under the traffic light system.

The sales are set down for Karaka (Feb 13) and Christchurch (Feb 14-16), with more 400 yearlings going under the hammer.

NZB Director and Operations Manager James Jennings says the sales will proceed at "red" though strict protocols will have to be adhered to.
