Group One glory in Australia last season was the latest chapter in a long success story for Pencarrow Stud at New Zealand’s National Yearling Sale – one that spans about a third of the sale’s 100-year history.
The quality of those Pencarrow bloodlines was quickly recognised by the buyers’ bench at Karaka. The stud made its first impact in 1992 with a third placing on the list of leading vendors by average. Pencarrow went on to be the leading vendor by average in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Pencarrow Stud has 18 yearlings in the catalogue for Book 1 and six in Book 2 for the 100th edition of the NZB National Yearling Sale.
