www.kingmakers.co.nz Quite the process indeed. But after 12-months we finally have our Kingmakers silks approved and registered for racing across the ditch. A big shout out to Auckland Branding Agency TRIED&TRUE who did a super job over the last 12-months designing and crafting the Kingmakers brand.

Lupo is building. Easter winner 2026.

15/04/2026

Lupo Soltario 2.0 has finally arrived - we've waited a while to secure another one like him. This lad will run a touch earlier, and will follow a similar path that Lupo did to become a top 3 year-old in spring 2023 beating star filly Orchestral. Only catch, we won't be selling him to YULONG, but instead, be taking them on head to head!

Great to see Lupo, the black type winning Satono Aladdin, that we selected out of Karaka Book 2 for $82,500, is back on NZ tracks following his false start in Hong Kong. Well done Danica Guy for all her hard work. He's building up!

Looking for that next 'Big Big Horse' in Australasia Racing? Kingmakers' Leighton Howl's six recent Karaka selections maybe a great place to start. https://kingmakers.co.nz/selecting-horses/shares-available

16/02/2026

The last two 5% Shares are still available in exciting 2 year-old 'Wulver' (by Snitzel young sire Wild Ruler). Trialled well recently at Ellerslie for a quiet 2nd with huge improvement to come.

Trials again next week.

Wulver was smart spring jump-out winner! Currently in training with Andrew Forsman!

This 2 year-old gelding is Australian bred for pure speed and is out of the very fast Perth mare Kennocha who won 5, 3 in succession.

This horse was selected by Kingmakers' Director of Racing Leighton Howl, who also recently selected and owns black type 3 year olds, Ceolwulf and Lupo Soltario and many other good ones.

Join a group of up to 15 new owners and Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman in the run towards various black type 2 & 3 year-old races in the coming months.

We’re looking for new Kingmakers to join us at Karaka 2026. Become a Principal Owner with a racehorse you co-select, bid for in the ring, and then go on to name, and race.

This new product is an industry first. Kingmakers will work closely with you to identify and help you purchase 'your' special horse to target your 'dream race'. A syndicate of like-minded owners will then be wrapped around you and your horse and we’ll mange your horse (with you) all the way to the first race and beyond.

Become a 40% Principal Owner in your own horse and we’ll finance the remaining 60% and find the other owners. Most profile owners don't want to own the whole horse anymore, but now find a large controlling share more fun.

Ten Principal Owner Benefits - from Selection to Celebration are:

1. Open Invitation to January’s Karaka Horse Sales.
2. Inclusion in the selection process for your horse, alongside vets, and our guest bloodstock agent.
3. Sales Day breakfast briefings prior to daily horse parades.
4. Live bidding. Join the action, bid with your Kingmakers' agent
5. Exclusive visiting rights to the breaking-in and track-work.
6. Naming rights for your selected horse.
7. Your name printed on Kingmakers' jockey silks.
8. Presentation and speaking rights on winning days.
9. Exclusive rights to sponsors' gifts, trophies, and giveaways.
10. Personal photos with your horse before and after each race.

Maybe it's time to step into principal ownership, and say goodbye to micro shares, and being just a number. It's time to 'think big' and find your horse. It worked for Bart Cummings, after all that's what he named his stable.

For a confidential chat about all things ownership, get in touch today.

French jockey Corentin Berge likes our colours too! That's 6 months on from Italian jockey Frankie Dettori messaging his approval of the new Kingmakers' logo and branding.

The brief was to create new silks and brand with European flavour, and a one off logo marque that we could own for years to come!

Designed by Agency Tried & True Auckland, we're sure we'll be entering the whole branding exercise in this year's BEST Design Awards.

Are you interested in a different type of investment in 2026? How about investing in a racehorse with Kingmakers at Karaka 2026. It’s your chance to enter the Sport of Kings as simply an investor as opposed to an owner.

We’ll be looking to buy 3 young colts at this month’s Karaka Yearling Sales, with the goal of reselling them at this year’s Karaka R2R sale in November - for equine enthusiasts looking for the 'Winning Feeling' off the track rather than on it.

We are inviting new people with an interest (great or small) into the sport of horse racing, to get involved, understand the investment journey and share in the possible financials gains associated with buying and selling bloodstock (also called pin-hooking).

Kingmakers’ Leighton Howl applies a proven approach to buying horses that develop into quality investments. As the founder he has been quietly selecting, selling, and racing horses with great success over the last 20 years. Putting his money where his mouth is each year, including last year, when he bought a $135,000 Ace High Yearling C**t that he subsequently resold for $380,000 at the Ready to Run Sale - 9 months later, netting a $180,000 net return on investment.

But how have we gone in the years prior? Some off our investment wins include:

$82,500 Satono Aladdin yearling Resold for $1,000,000
$27,000 Shamexpress yearling Resold for $350,000
$52.500 Reliable Man yearling Resold for $200,000
$40,000 Denman yearling Resold for $115,00
$40,000 Mastercraftsman yearling Resold for $140,000
$17,500 Rios 2 year-old Resold for $350,000
$40,000 Nom De Jeu Unsold but then raced, winning $255,000k stakes
$80,000 Zacinto Unsold but then raced winning $450,000k stakes

If you are interested in a different type of investment in 2026, that’s off the racetrack, rather than on it, get in touch today to book a meeting with Kingmakers prior to this year’s Karaka Yearling Sales, and then the Inglis Classic Sale in Sydney.

In that meeting we discuss how you can invest in a racehorse, the risks and rewards and the overall detailed process across the fixed 9-month period leading up to the Ready to Run Sale in November 2026.
