We welcome you to join us for an unreserved deplenishing sale at our Hamilton property on Sunday 15 March 2026.
Developed in the fertile Waikato region, by Brent Gillovic in 1986, we have built a reputation for producing tough, sound, athletic racehorses.
Over the years, our graduates have enjoyed success across New Zealand, Australia and further afield, with nearly 100 group or stakes winners bred, raised or sold by Highview, including the incomparable Hall of Famer Let’s Elope, recent G2 Eclipse winner Kinnaird, and Mr Brightside.
Now, as our operation enters a new chapter, we will offer approximately 50 lots at an on-farm sale, conducted by New Zealand Bloodstock. The catalogue will include yearlings, two-year-olds, racehorses, broodmares, mares with foals at foot and more.
“There’s a changing of the guard at Highview, with my son Kurtis now taking a more prominent leadership role,” Gillovic said.
“We’ve accumulated a lot of horses so this is a genuine reduction process to trim the operation back to around 30 to 40 mares before I hand over the reins.
“We have held a couple of these deplenishing sales previously back in the early 2000s which were quite successful.
“While it goes against the trend in today’s day and age, for us it is just easier to manage this many horses in one go, here onsite, and hopefully sell them all in one hit.
“We’ve got a number of sires represented including some nice young horses by the likes of Wrote, Santos, Divine Prophet, Sword of State, Xtravagant, Hello Youmzain, Sweynesse, Vadamos and more.
“There will be something for everyone. At the end of the day, our main goal is to find these horses good homes — we’re not expecting the world for them.
“It will be a nice Sunday afternoon, with plenty of opportunity for everyone.”
The Unreserved Deplenishing Sale will be conducted from 1pm at Highview (1544 Kakaramea Road, RD10, Hamilton, 3290, New Zealand), with gates open at 10am for inspections. A few pre-sale parade days will be announced in due course.
The catalogue will be available to view online at www.nzb.co.nz by late February, while printed catalogues will be available on the day.
While online bidding is unavailable, all prospective buyers are welcome to attend. Alternatively, NZB and BAFNZ agents will be able to inspect and bid on your behalf should you be unable to attend.
