A highly successful celebrity auction on gavelhouse.com that was organised by NZ Jockeys’ Association executive officer Andrew Lacy, has raised a total of 💸$27,400💸 to boost the NZ Horse Ambulance Trust’s fundraising appeal. 

This includes $10,000 donated by the NZ Jockeys’ Association, which pledged to dollar match funds raised through the live auction.

The top selling lot was an exclusive lunch for two with leading hoops Danielle Johnson and Samantha Collett at Osteria in Matamata, which had a winning bid of $3,200. Some of the other celebrities that stepped up for the cause included Opie Bosson, Brendon McCullum, the elusive Kevin Myers, and ‘magic man’ Chris Johnson. 

In addition to the celebrity lunches and dinners, racing enthusiasts Boys Get Paid donated a framed pair of breeches signed by Hugh Bowman commemorating the champion mare Winx, which sold for $4,600.

The auction was generously supported by gavelhouse.com, which waived its commission fee, and the dining experiences were sponsored by Cambridge Stud, Grangewilliam Stud NZ, Haunui Farm, Inglewood Stud and Waikato Stud. 

Thank you to everyone involved in the live auction - the winning bidders and the under bidders! We're getting closer to the $150,000 target 🤗 https://bit.ly/Complete-the-fleet
