History of the New Zealand Cup
The New Zealand Cup is one of the oldest races in New Zealand having been run each year since 1865. It is a race for stayers, over 3200 metres, which is also the distance of the Auckland Cup, Wellington Cup as well as some major Australian races such as the Melbourne Cup.
Despite it dropping over time from a Group 1 race down to Group 3 status, it remains one of the most popular racing events in New Zealand with the 150th running in 2013.
Maree Lyndon was the first female jockey to win a Group I race in New Zealand when winning the 1982 Cup on Sirtain.
Notable winners include:
- 2011 & 2012 - Blood Brotha, the 2013 Wellington Cup winner.
- 1995 & 1998 - Sapio, the winner of the 1997 Tattersall's Cup (Eagle Farm) and Doomben Cup.
- 1987 – Empire Rose, the 1988 Melbourne Cup winner.
- 1985 - Samasaan, the 1986 Wellington Cup winner.
- 1974 – Fury's Order, the 1975 Cox Plate winner.
- 1973 - Watallan winning the Cup as a 10 year old, for his 21st victory from 111 starts, and paying a $98 dividend.[1]
- 1935 – Cuddle, 2x winner of the Auckland Cup and the Doncaster Handicap.
- 1930 – Nightmarch, winner of the 1929 Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.
