The NZ Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale has produced two Derby winners since 2010 and will be looking to take number three in the $1.5 million Victoria Derby on Saturday.
With Military Move (Volksraad) winning the G1 New Zealand Derby in 2010, and the Ready to Run Sale's newest Gup 1 winner Shootoff (Duelled) taking the G1 Queensland Derby in June, the inform Sangster (Savabeel x Quinta Special) will be representing the RTR Sale in the big race.
New Zealand bred horses have a strong record in the Victoria Derby winning four of the last five runnings with Efficient (Zabeel), Kibbutz (Golan), Monaco Consul (High Chaparral) and Lion Tamer (Storming Home).
Pins has nine entries in the Ready to Run Sale including the half-brother to the Victoria Derby runner Collar to be offered by last year's leading vendor Lyndhurst Farm.
A stakes winner since the catalogue went to print, Collar (O'Reilly x Laebeel) won the Listed Doncaster Stakes and is a half-brother to the Group 3 winner Larry's Never Late (Pentire).
Racing in solid form coming into Saturday's feature, Collar ran a good second behind the Derby favourite Manawanui (Oratorio) in the G2 Mooney Valley Vase last weekend.
Collar boasts one of the best dam sires in the book in Zabeel who is having a phenomenal season as a broodmare sire in Australia with his daughters producing eight individual stakes winners - double that of his closest rival Danehill on four.
Master trainer Bart Cummings went to $250,000 to secure Rapidus (Darci Brahma x Rivertaine) from Little Avondale Stud at the 2010 Karaka Premier Sale and he will make his black-type debut in the Derby.
He has a half-brother in the Ready to Run Sale, a colt by Savabeel, and was a winner at his last start since the catalogue went to print.
With a large book of 16 two-year-olds in the Ready to Run Sale, Savabeel is represented with Sangster in the VRC Derby.
Sangster's last two starts have both been over 2000m and have seen him place in the G1 Spring Champion Stakes and run a close second in the G3 Norman Robertson Stakes.
Fellow Karaka graduate Scelto (Pentire x Our Discretion) ran a good third in the Mooney Valley Vase and should be race hardened with seven races under his belt this prep.
Mr Chez (Duelled x Tittletaat) rounds off the NZB graduates in the feature and comes into the race looking to add another Derby title to his sire's record.
