New Zealand Derby History

*Run in January
**Run in November
Discontinued after 1972. The CJC (Canterbury Jockey Club) New Zealand Derby was transferred to Ellerslie from Riccarton in 1973, and was combined with the The Great Northern Derby into one race in 1973. Race charts for the previous winners of the present-day New Zealand Derby sometimes include a few winners from the CJC New Zealand Derby (1967 - 1972), and then the winners from the The Great Northern Derby (1875 - 1966), and sometimes only list the The Great Northern Derby winners prior to 1973.

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.
