Impressive Arbitrage To Target NZ Derby

Ballymore Stables have identified the NZ Derby in March for Tuesday’s seven length Kilmore maiden winner Arbitrage (Rip Van Winkle-My First Fifteen by Danasinga).

Bred by JML Bloodstock and sold from our 2014 Karaka Premier draft to Paul Moroney for $100,000, the three-year-old colt clearly appreciated the firm track conditions and step up in distance.

Arbitrage hails from the same family as Saturday’s sensational 2000 Guineas winner Xtravagent (Pentire-Axiom by Zabeel).

The Wolf (Rip Van Winkle-Baradevi) bred by Barlow Thoroughbreds and Little Avondale is also being set for the same race.

Family, our families have done so much together in the industry and sociably, there's not too many industries today that allow you to do that.
