One week until IRT NZ Trotting Cup and Renwick Farms Dominion deadline

[Wandering Eyes]

There is just one week to go before nominations close for the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup and the Renwick Farms Dominion Trot at Addington Raceway on Tuesday, November 11.

Nominations opened on August 11 and already there has been significant interest from both sides of the Tasman. 

Though numbers are expected to increase markedly before the deadline so far there are 20 nominations for the Cup and 19 for the Dominion.

This year no nominations will be accepted until payment has been made. Nominations close at 3pm (NZT) Thursday, August 28.

Swayzee, as defending champion, Auckland Cup winner Republican Party and Inter-Dominion winner Leap To Fame all have guaranteed spots in the Cup, if nominated while in the Dominion there is Rowe Cup winner Bet N Win and Inter-Dominion winner Arcee Phoenix.

There will be four automatic qualifying races leading into the 2025 New Zealand Cup starting with the Maurice Holmes Vase at Addington tomorrow night (Friday). The other races are the New Brighton Cup (September 5), the Canterbury Classic (October 17), all at Addington, and for the first time the Holmes DG at Alexandra Park (October 3). All winners of these races will make the Cup field, if nominated.

The Dominion has three automatic qualifying races – the Ordeal Trotting Cup (September 5), the Worthy Queen (October 10) and the Canterbury Park Trotting Cup (October 17), all at Addington Raceway. The winners of these races will qualify for the Dominion, as long as they are nominated.

The initial rankings for both the Cup and the Dominion will be made available on Thursday, September 4.
