It is generally considered the country's most prestigious harness racing event. The New Zealand Trotting cup is considered as Canterbury's biggest day on its social calendar. Many flock to Addington for the glitz and glamour of the event, rather than the horse racing.

Christchurch Cup week edit

The race is held during Show Week on the second Tuesday in November, three days before the Show Day public holiday. The public holiday in Christchurch is the observance of the Canterbury Anniversary Holiday (16 December in reality). This race meeting, along with other premier race meetings form part of Canterbury's carnival week along with the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Show. Until 1999 the Show was held at showgrounds adjacent to Addington Raceway.

Christchurch Cup week at Addington raceway also includes the following major races on the Friday (Show Day):

For thoroughbred horses the week also features:

There is also greyhound racing on the Thursday, including the following Group 1 races:

  • the New Zealand Galaxy - C5f 295m
  • the New Zealand Greyhound Cup - C5f 520m
  • the New Zealand Stayers Cup - C2df 732m

Cup history edit

The first New Zealand Cup was run in 1904.

Three horses have won the race three times, they are Indianapolis, False Step and Terror To Love. False Step later went to the United States where he beat the acknowledged American champion of the time, Adios Butler.[1] A number of horses have won the race twice including Harold Logan and Highland Fling who both won their second cups off the very large handicap of 60 yards and Lazarus.

In 1929, 1930 and 1931 the New Zealand Cup was run with heats: a first division[2] and second division[2] and then the final.

The 1962 New Zealand Cup days was one of the few days when there has been rain on the Cup day. This was the year that Lordship beat the hot favorite Cardigan Bay.[3]

In 1963 Cardigan Bay who is arguably New Zealand's greatest ever horse won the Cup and also won the Inter Dominion in Australia. Cardigan Bay, in association with New Jersey master reinsman Stanley Dancer went on to become the first million dollar winner in the sport's history.

A common feature of the race is the inclusion of Australian trained runners, including the winners:

  • Steel Jaw in 1983,
  • Lightning Blue in 1987,
  • Arden Rooney in 2015, and
  • Swayzee in 2023.

The 2008 running of the race was won by Changeover, driven by David Butcher and trained by Geoff Small, in a then race/world record time (1.58.8-mile rate). The race was delayed by over 6 minutes due to fractious horses and a damaged wheel to one of the favoured runners. After being slow away, Butcher moved forward to lead, and soon after took a trail behind one of the other favourites, Baileys Dream. In an exciting finish, Butcher used the passing lane to pass Baileys Dream, with Report for Duty third for Anthony Butt (who was trying for 3 wins in a row in the NZ Cup). It was another dream result for the ATC Trotting Syndicate, who own the horse. The last horse home, favoured runner Monkey King, was credited with a time of 3.58.7, which was fast enough to have won every prior NZ Cup, except the 2007 running, won by Flashing Red.

Terror To Love equaled the record for most wins in 2013, having won the previous two years. Despite breaking stride at the start of the race, giving the leaders a 15-length head start (about 37m or 3 seconds), Terror To Love made up the distance slowly and worked towards the front, taking the lead in the back stretch of the final lap. The horse managed to hold off late-charging runners to record the unusual win by a head. The race announcer called the race the greatest win in the New Zealand Trotting Cup's history. At the time it was the second fastest New Zealand Cup, behind the 2008 win by Changeover.

The 2015 running of the New Zealand Cup was won by Australian-based horse, Arden Rooney, driven by Kerryn Manning. It was the first time in the history of the race that a female had driven the winner. After a great start, Arden Rooney was given a leisurely time in front and with a last half-mile in 55 seconds under a vigorous drive, gave little else a chance to catch it. Subsequently, the driver was given a two-week suspension and $1000 fine for "Excessive use of whip". It was her second fine for a similar offense in New Zealand within 8 days.

In 2016 the race was run and won by the dominant Purdon/Rasmussen training combination, with their champion horse Lazarus. It was won in a very fast time in completely dominant fashion by 10 lengths, running 3.53.1 for the 2-mile event (a mile rate of 1.57.2). The Purdon/Rasmussen combination filled 3 of the first 4 finishing positions. Lazarus returned to win the Cup the following year.

In 2016, the ZM Body Art final was held at the Trotting Cup.[4]

New Zealand Cup day will generally attract over 20,000 people at the race course. However, in 2021 the crowd was unable to attend due to COVID-19 restrictions.[5]

Step later went to the United States where he beat the acknowledged American champion of the time Adios Butler 1 A number of horses have won the race twice including Harold Logan and Highland Fling who both won their second cups off the very large handicap of 60 yards and Lazarus In 1929 1930 and 1931 the New Zealand Cup was run with heats a first division 2 and second division 2 and then the final The 1962 New Zealand Cup days was one of the few days when there has been rain on the Cup day This was the year that Lordship beat the hot favorite Cardigan Bay 3 In 1963 Cardigan Bay who is arguably New Zealand s greatest ever horse won the Cup and also won the Inter Dominion in Australia Cardigan Bay in association with New Jersey master reinsman Stanley Dancer went on to become the first million dollar winner in the sport s history A common feature of the race is the inclusion of Australian trained runners including the winners Steel Jaw in 1983 Lightning Blue in 1987 Arden Rooney in 2015 and Swayzee in 2023 The 2008 running of the race was won by Changeover driven by David Butcher and trained by Geoff Small in a then race world record time 1 58 8 mile rate The race was delayed by over 6 minutes due to fractious horses and a damaged wheel to one of the favoured runners After being slow away Butcher moved forward to lead and soon after took a trail behind one of the other favourites Baileys Dream In an exciting finish Butcher used the passing lane to pass Baileys Dream with Report for Duty third for Anthony Butt who was trying for 3 wins in a row in the NZ Cup It was another dream result for the ATC Trotting Syndicate who own the horse The last horse home favoured runner Monkey King was credited with a time of 3 58 7 which was fast enough to have won every prior NZ Cup except the 2007 running won by Flashing Red Terror To Love equaled the record for most wins in 2013 having won the previous two years Despite breaking stride at the start of the race giving the leaders a 15 length head start about 37m or 3 seconds Terror To Love made up the distance slowly and worked towards the front taking the lead in the back stretch of the final lap The horse managed to hold off late charging runners to record the unusual win by a head The race announcer called the race the greatest win in the New Zealand Trotting Cup s history At the time it was the second fastest New Zealand Cup behind the 2008 win by Changeover The 2015 running of the New Zealand Cup was won by Australian based horse Arden Rooney driven by Kerryn Manning It was the first time in the history of the race that a female had driven the winner After a great start Arden Rooney was given a leisurely time in front and with a last half mile in 55 seconds under a vigorous drive gave little else a chance to catch it Subsequently the driver was given a two week suspension and 1000 fine for Excessive use of whip It was her second fine for a similar offense in New Zealand within 8 days In 2016 the race was run and won by the dominant Purdon Rasmussen training combination with their champion horse Lazarus It was won in a very fast time in completely dominant fashion by 10 lengths running 3 53 1 for the 2 mile event a mile rate of 1 57 2 The Purdon Rasmussen combination filled 3 of the first 4 finishing positions Lazarus returned to win the Cup the following year In
