The Auckland Pacing Cup which is sometimes referred to as the Auckland Trotting Cup or merely the Auckland Cup is a race held at Alexandra Park in Auckland, New Zealand for Standardbred horses. It is one of the two major harness races, along with the New Zealand Cup, held in New Zealand each year for the highest grade (Open class) pacers. It is a Group 1 championship race and has been won by many of the champion pacers in New Zealand.

Cup history

For most of its history the Auckland Cup was raced in December, however at times it has been moved to other calendar dates such as:

  • March, from 2006 until 2015, when it formed part of Auckland Cup Week, a carnival which included feature Thoroughbred races such as the gallops Auckland Cup and greyhound racing. As well as the March 2015 race (won by Christen Me) there was a second 2015 Auckland Cup raced in December (Have Faith In Me). Neither Christen Me or Have Faith In Me competed in the other race that year.
  • January, in 1987 when won by Master Mood over 2,700m. In 1987 there was a second Auckland Cup in December, reverting to the 3,200m distance, won by Luxury Liner. Perhaps evidencing the competitiveness of the fields the January 1987 winner Master Mood could only place 9th in the December race whereas Luxury Liner, the winner in December could only achieve 6th in the earlier race.
  • February, for the 1978 to 1986 (inclusive) years.

From 2022 it was moved to late May, on the same race-card as the Rowe Cup for Open Class trotters. The Northern Trotting Derby for 3 year old trotters is on the same night.

Distance

The Auckland Cup is currently run over 3,200 metres from a mobile start.

The race started as a 3-mile event in 1890 to 1894 (inclusive) but it has traditionally been a 3,200m or 2 mile event apart from being a 2,700m journey for the races held from:

  • March 2007 (won by Flashing Red) to March 2015 (Christen Me) before reverting to 3,200m for the 2016 year onwards.
  • February 1978 (Sole Command) to January 1987 (Master Mood).

Stake money

The stake money for the Auckland Cup has fluctuated over the years:

  • $180,000 for the 2023 year.
  • $400,000 for the 2022 year.
  • $196,000 for the 2020 year.
  • $245,000 for the 2019 year, which compared to $750,000 for the New Zealand Trotting Cup.
  • $600,000 for the 2009 Auckland Cup{{Cite web |url=http://www.harness.org.au/ahrc/feature/gr_nzres_2008.htm |title=Prizemoney for Premier New Zealand Harness racing events |access-date=2009-05-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090825194848/http://www.harness.org.au/ahrc/feature/gr_nzres_2008.htm |archive-date=2009-08-25 |url-status=dead }} ($1 million for the New Zealand Cup).

It has been uncommon for female horses (mares) to win the Cup, the most recent being:

  • Amazing Dream (2020).
  • Flight South (2000).
  • Kate's First (1997).

However the “Queen of the Park” Delightful Lady won the race twice, in 1980 and 1981.
