Enhancements Announced for 2025 New Zealand Cup Week - NZTR nztr.co.nz 2024 Group 1 Barneswood Farm New Zealand 1000 Guineas® (1600m) winner, Captured by Love. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) and the Canterbury Jockey Club (CJC) have unveiled a series of enhancements to this year’s New Zealand Cup Meeting, with significant prizemoney boosts and a refreshed race programme set to elevate the South Island's marquee Spring racing carnival. From November, each of the three feature races will carry an additional $50,000 in stakes. The Group 1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai 53rd New Zealand 2000 Guineas® (1600m) will now be run for $700,000, the Group 1 Barneswood Farm 53rd New Zealand 1000 Guineas® (1600m) will rise to $600,000, and the Group 3 162nd New Zealand Cup (3200m) is now worth $450,000. NZTR Chief Executive Officer Matt Ballesty said the enhancements reflected the importance of Cup Week on New Zealand’s racing calendar. “The New Zealand Cup Meeting is one of the country’s most important and recognisable racing carnivals, attracting both national and international attention and providing excellent exposure for our sport.” “NZTR is pleased to support the Canterbury Jockey Club with these increases, which strengthen the quality and appeal of the week’s flagship events,” Ballesty said. Alongside the prizemoney increases, the New Zealand Pattern Committee has approved a change to the programme that will see the order of the Guineas races reversed. The New Zealand 1000 Guineas® will now open the carnival on Saturday 8 November, while New Zealand 2000 Guineas® will be staged at the New Zealand Cup Day meeting on Saturday 15 November. NZTR’s Senior Handicapper Bruce Sherwin commented on the rationale for the swap. “This adjustment has been made to allow a greater chance for a top filly to back up in the 2000 Guineas, while also aligning the race more logically with its key lead-up, the Group 2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial [1400m], which will now be 19 days prior rather than the current period of 12 days.” “A flow-on effect from this change will see the Group 2 Windsor Park Stud Soliloquy Stakes [1400m] move one week earlier to Saturday 18 October, maintaining the traditional three-week lead-in to the 1000 Guineas.” “Both the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas are also Bonus Eligible races for the NZB Kiwi, offering added incentives for owners and trainers to target Riccarton Park’s premier fixtures,” Sherwin said. The winner of the 2025 New Zealand 2000 Guineas® will have the first right to negotiate with the CJC for use of its slot in the 2026 $4,000,000 NZB Kiwi (1500m), the Southern Hemisphere’s richest three-year-old race. If that opportunity is not taken up, the New Zealand 1000 Guineas® winner will be offered the second option to negotiate with the Club. To further support participation, the CJC will again offer its travel incentive scheme for horses flying to Christchurch to contest Cup Week’s feature races. The scheme provides financial assistance through subsidised air transport, helping leading contenders from across New Zealand compete on the Riccarton Park stage. CJC Chief Executive Officer Bruce Sherwin said the changes build on the momentum and appeal of the carnival. “Cup Week is a cornerstone of New Zealand racing, drawing top-quality horses, trainers and jockeys from across the country.” “These enhancements, both in prizemoney and programming, will add even more excitement for participants and racegoers, and further cement Riccarton Park as a must-visit venue during November.” “We look forward to hosting another outstanding week of racing, fashion and entertainment in 2025," he said. The New Zealand Cup Meeting will run from Saturday 8 November to Saturday 15 November 2025, with Riccarton Park hosting three spectacular days of racing alongside Christchurch’s wider festival of sport, entertainment and fashion. -

Don't you see the contradiction? Your free market win at all costs punting funds your benevolent non-competitive social good. I'm the opposite I want any horse I own to win as much as it can and only have a wager for entertainment. The latter probably funds your wagering winnings although I only bet on the NZTAB so probably not.
