Auckland Cup The Auckland Cup is an annual race held by the Auckland Racing Club . It is an Open Handicap for thoroughbred racehorses competed on the flat turf over 3200 metres at Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland, New Zealand . The race is graded as a Group One and was first contested in 1874. For years, the Auckland Cup was the richest horse race in New Zealand. It recalled such names as Beau Vite , Howe, Kindergarten , Beaumaris, Yeman, and Froth, and a consistent runner of the 1880s, Australian champion Nelson, who greeted the judge at the head of the field three times in four years. The Auckland Cup is currently run for a purse of NZ$500,000. Since 2006, the race is contested on the second Saturday of Auckland Cup Week at the beginning of March. It was run on Boxing Day from its inception until 1958 and then on New Year's Day from 1958 to 2006. The first meeting of the Club was in May 1874. One of the events, run over a distance of miles, was named the Auckland Cup. This race was won by Mr. J Watt's three-year-old Batter. At the Summer Meeting of 1874 the Auckland Cup was run on Boxing Day over a distance of two miles and in subsequent published records of the club this race is shown as being the first official, recognized Auckland Cup contest. This race was won by Templeton who must have been an impressive horse as to inspire Thomas Bracken to write a requiem of sorts to his fading prowess called Old Templeton. The day was reviewed positively in the 28 December issue of the New Zealand Herald , and was found to be absent of ‘sheanannaking’ and ‘hanky-panky’ and that everything was ‘above-board’ and ‘up hill and down straight’. The 2021 running of the Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup will be run on Saturday 13 March at approximately 5.30pm. It is typically the second-to-last race run on the final day of Auckland Cup Week®.Winners since 1997 Previous winners 1969 – Il Tempo 1968 – Bright Chief 1967 – Royal Sheen 1966 – Apa 1965 – Lucky Son 1964 – Senor 1963 – Stipulate 1962 – Floutulla 1961 – Ruato 1960 – Marie Brizard 1959 – Froth 1958 – Red Eagle 1957 – NOT HELD 1956 – Yeman 1955 – Tesla 1954 – Arawa 1953 – Coaltown 1952 – Rev 1951 – Classowa 1950 – Beaumaris 1949 – Swanee 1948 – Frances 1947 – Balgowan 1946 – Sylis 1945 – Expanse 1944 – Foxwyn 1943 – Lord Chancellor 1942 – Kindergarten 1941 – Piastre 1940 – Beau Vite 1939 – Cheval De Volee 1938 – Cheval De Volee 1937 – The Buzzer 1936 – Cuddle 1935 – Cuddle 1934 – Gold Trail 1933 – Minerval 1932 – Fast Passage 1931 – Admiral Drake 1930 – Motere 1929 – Concentrate 1928 – Corinax 1927 – Rapier 1926 – Tanadees 1925 – Rapine 1924 – Te Kara 1923 – Muraahi/Te Kara 1922 – Scion 1921 – Malaga 1920 – Starland 1919 – Karo 1918 – Mascot 1917 – Fiery Cross 1916 – Depredation 1915 – Balboa 1914 – Warstep 1913 – Sir Solo 1912 – Bobrikoff 1911 – Santa Rosa 1910 – Waimangu 1909 – All Red 1908 – All Red 1907 – Zimmerman 1906 – Master Delaval 1905 – Putty 1904 – Mahutonga 1903 – Wairiki 1902 – Siege Gun 1901 – St. Michael 1900 – Blue Jacket 1899 – Blue Jacket 1898 – Uhlan 1897 – Antares 1896 – Nestor 1895 – Anita 1894 – Lottie 1893 – Pegasus 1892 – St. Hippo 1891 – Pinfire 1890 – Crackshot 1889 – Leopold 1888 – Lochiel 1887 – Nelson 1886 – Nelson 1885 – Nelson 1884 – The Poet 1883 – Salvage 1882 – Welcome Jack 1881 – King Quail 1880 – Foul Play 1879 – Ariel 1878 – Ariel 1877 – Lara 1876 – Ariel 1875 – Kingfisher 1874 – Templeton
