Woodlands Power on NZ Cup Day
/Tuesday, 11 November — Addington Raceway, Christchurch
New Zealand’s biggest day of harness racing, New Zealand Cup Day at Addington Raceway, once again highlights the extraordinary impact of the Woodlands Stud stallion roster, with 61 Woodlands-sired runners stepping out across today’s prestigious card.
The dominance begins with the numbers:
Bettor’s Delight – 28 runners
Sweet Lou – 11 runners
Downbytheseaside – 10 runners
What The Hill – 7 runners
Lather Up – 2 runners
Pegasus Spur – 2 runners
American Ideal – 1 runner
The feature pacing races continue to tell the story of Woodlands’ continued influence at the elite level:
New Zealand Trotting Cup – 10 of 15 runners
Woodlands Stud 2YO Sires Stakes Final – 10 of 13 runners
Nevele R Fillies Final – 9 of 14 runners
Junior Free-For-All – 4 of 11 runners
Woodlands Stud’s influence extends beyond sires alone, with 12 horses engaged that were bred and raised on farm, and as proud sponsors of the Group 1 Woodlands Stud 2YO Sires Stakes Final, the stud continues to support and celebrate excellence across all levels of the sport.
Adding further depth to the story, Bettor’s Delight continues to shape generations as the broodmare sire of 21 runners, alongside Pegasus Spur (7) and American Ideal (2).
From the breeding barn to the big stage, Woodlands sires continue to lead the way, reinforcing their position at the forefront of Australasian harness racing.
Woodlands Stud extends its very best wishes to all connections with runners engaged at Addington tomorrow.
