Cran & Chrissie Dalgety are welcoming new owners to join them in the excitement of competing in Australasia’s best races.

Each year the Kentuckiana Lodge trainers source yearlings at New Zealand’s national yearling sales to target the best and richest Group One races. 

Cran & Chrissie will be back at this year’s NZB Standardbred Yearling Sales at Karaka and Christchurch in 2024 where they have had outstanding success purchasing future racetrack stars. 

Whether you are looking for your own horse, a tailored percentage or the smallest syndicate share possible, you can join Cran & Chrissie’s journey as they prepare their purchases to be the race track stars of tomorrow.   

Take advantage of Cran’s proven talent for identifying yearlings that will go on to win Group One races and become racetrack champions. 

Cran has a spotted a lengthy list of star horses who have gone on to win rich races in two-year-old, three-year-old and open class events throughout Australasia.

Krug is one of the latest pacers to reach superstar status after being knocked down to Kentuckiana Lodge at the 2019 NZB Standardbred Yearling Sales.

After being crowned New Zealand’s Two-Year-Old Pacing Colt Or Gelding of the 2019-20 season, the pacer continued his dominance in his three-year-old season.

Krug’s Group One Northern win was one of the most stunning it the classic race’s rich history.

He then joined a rare group to double up and win the Group One New Zealand Derby and then going on to open class stardom and winning the Group One Invercargill Cup. 

Republican Party was a star of the sales ring who has gone onto racetrack stardom under the guidance of Kentuckiana Lodge. 

The pacer has competed at the highest level throughout his career, racking up multiple group race victories and Group One placings.

Bit Of A Legend won the same Sales Series Final Krug did before winning both the two-and three-year-old Group One Australasian Breeders Crown Finals and then racking up an incredible US$2.5 million in stakes after starring as an older horse in North America. 

Smiling Shard was a narrow second in the Sales Series Final but made up for it with wins in the Group One New Zealand Sires Stakes Final and Group One Harness Jewels. 

The pacer gave his owners an incredible ride competing with distinction as a three-year-old and in Australasia’s biggest open class events.

Cran also has an eye for top class fillies, Sparks A Flyin’s Group One wins across Australasia is proof of that. 

The list of Kentuckiana Lodge yearling sales purchases that have gone on to win feature races is almost endless and includes Bettor Joy, Mighty Flying Mac, Katy Perry, Onlyforu, Texican, Hip Hop Anvil, Orl Black, Lightning Raider, Glacier Bay, London Legend and Bettor’s Strike.
