Increases for Addington features

It’s just under four months to New Zealand’s most prestigious harness racing racing carnival with Cup Week in Christchurch, with the highlight being Cup Day at Addington on Tuesday 10 November and the running of the celebrated Christchurch Casino New Zealand Trotting Cup.

Addington is pleased to announce that this spring the Cup will be run for $750,000 and the Woodlands New Zealand Free For All on Show Day, Friday 13 November for $250,000 which represents a total of $1 million in stakes on offer.

This equates to a combined increase of $100,000 on 2014 levels.

New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club Chairman Mr Barry Dent commented “Given the increases in stakes for both the Christchurch Casino New Zealand Trotting Cup and the Woodlands New Zealand Free For All, I am sure the club will attract and the public will get to see the very best Australasian standardbreds racing during Cup Week. November can’t come soon enough.”

The initial nomination fee of $375 plus GST for the Group One $750,000 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Trotting Cup is due on Wednesday 12 August at 3pm NZ time.

There is no early nomination fee for the Woodlands New Zealand Free For All.
