The Australian raiders have been dealt wide barriers for Sunday’s Listed Karaka Million at Ellerslie.
The John Sadler-trained Sell In May came up with gate 11 in the field of 14 plus two emergencies, while Anthony Freedman’s hope Ockham’s Razor drew 13.
Worth $NZ1 million ($A780,00) the Karaka Million (1200m) is New Zealand’s richest race and has also enticed several Australian jockeys.
Craig Williams will partner Ockham’s Razor as he looks to continue his stellar big race form while Ben Melham will ride Sell In May.
Fellow Victorian-based hoop Damien Oliver has picked up the mount on Mai Guru while Sydney’s Corey Brown and Hugh Bowman will also travel across the Tasman to partner Green Wings and Silk Pins respetively.
The Karaka Million is restricted to graduates of the 2011 National Yearling Sales Series.
