Slot Auction

WANT TO BECOME A PART OF NEW ZEALAND RACING HISTORY?🏇

NZTR will auction its one-year slot for the March 2025 edition of the NZB Kiwi on the eve of this year’s New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds. The slot will be auctioned during NZB’s Welcome Party at the Karaka Sales Centre, with all welcome to attend. Plus, 50% of all proceeds generated above reserve (with reserve being NZ$125,000 + GST) will be donated to Rodney Animal Rescue – the winning recipient of the NZB Kiwi Charity Draw.

HOW TO BID

For those looking to purchase the one-year slot for the NZB Kiwi, in-person bidding is recommended.

If you cannot attend the slot auction in person, NZTR will require you to complete an Appointment of Agent Form where you can nominate an Agent to act on your behalf. To request an Appointment of Agent Form, email emma.thompson@nztr.co.nz.

WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE?

The Slot Fee includes the Slot Entry Fee for year one of the race (Slot Entry Fee) and the additional price (if any) agreed to be paid by the Slot Holder when your offer is accepted (Above Reserve Fee). The starting price of a year one slot is NZ$125,000 (+GST if any) (reserve), this will cover your slot entry fee for one year of the race.

• Slot Entry Fee Year 1 (2025 edition): NZ$125,000 + GST (if any), as well as 100% of the Above Reserve Fee paid at once on or before 31 December 2024. 

For example, if you purchase the one-year slot for NZ$225,000, you are required to pay both the Slot Entry Fee Year 1 of NZ$125,000 + GST (if any) and 100% of the Above Reserve Fee of NZ$100,000 (+ GST if any) by 31 December 2024.

Following your successful purchase, NZTR will provide you with a final Slot Holder Agreement and you will be required to complete and sign the Agreement document and return to thekiwi@nztr.co.nz. The agreement can be completed and signed electronically.
