I'd say it is the longest standing 2yr old major/group race in NZ but even though still a Group 3 [I think] it has lost its former standing and often has a small field.One year about 1990 it not held thru lack of noms. It was the longest 2 yr old in distance [2400m] but over 20 years ago cut back to 1600m ,then in recent few years was 1700m. Many 'great' horses have won it ..Lordship ,Holy Hal ,possibly Terror To Love. I particularly remember Noodlum winning it easily on what was common back then, a wet grass track in June. Time was well over 3min 20 secs and often over 3min 30sec. Of course Ashburton trots in 1980's moved racing on to hard All weather surface . The breed ,athleticism etc of the horse has changed a lot over the years and with the high costs involved horses are expected to race and earn much earlier. With horses costing between $20k and $40k per year to care for/break in/ train etc owners cant be waiting around and breeders cant stock them on the shelves for people to come and inspect as late 3 or 4 year olds.
