Auckland Cup History

Distances
1874 (May 26) 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)
1874 (December 26) - 1876: 2 miles (3200 meters, 16 furlongs)
1877 - 1888: 2-1/4 miles (3600 meters, 18 furlongs)
1889 - Present: 2 miles (3200 meters, 16 furlongs)


Nelson won the race on New Year's Day 1888, the decision having been made to move the race from its traditional Boxing Day slot. This was an unpopular move and the race was returned to Boxing Day, and run again in December 1888, when Lochiel won.

NSB-- "Non Stud Book" ("NTB" in Australian Stud Book) female lines not admitted into the Australian Stud Book because the pedigrees of the foundation mares were lost or otherwise unprovable. Herbert Wanklyn and A.F. Howarth compiled a list of such families in 1949, as did Douglas Barrie in the 1950s. These are different from the so-called Colonial families only in that they were not deliniated in the Bobinski and subsequent Shirai family tables.
