Great Northern Derby (race) The Great Northern Derby was a set-weights thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old horses run over a distance of 2400 m at Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland, New Zealand . Since it was run for the first time as the ARC Auckland Derby Principal race over 12F in 1875, the race had become New Zealand's most prestigious three-year-old race. It was discontinued in 1972 after being combined with the New Zealand Derby . The new race, also called the New Zealand Derby was also run at Ellerslie.History The inaugural running of the Derby was in May 1875, when racing was held at Ellerslie Racecourse for the first time. Just three horses took part, of which one was withdrawn before the start and another failed to complete the course , leaving Toi to finish the race and become the first Derby winner . In 1887 it was renamed the ARC Great Northern Derby Principal race over 12F The race kept the name Great Northern Derby regularly until 1973 when the Great Northern Derby was combined with the New Zealand Derby from Christchurch to form one race, called the New Zealand Derby, which was run at Ellerslie. Riccarton was instead given two 1600 m races for three-year-olds in place of its Derby, the One Thousand and Two Thousand Guineas . Only a small number of fillies have ever won the Derby against the male horses including the great Desert Gold . Many of New Zealand's most famous racehorses feature on the Derby winners' list, including Kindergarten , Desert Gold, Mainbrace and Gloaming .Winners 1972 - Corroboree 1971 - Master John 1970 - Kirrama 1969 - Piko 1968 - Bardall 1967 - Ben Lomond 1966 - Star Belle 1965 - Peterman 1964 - Sobig 1963 - Ichtar 1962 - Tatua 1961 - Cracksman 1960 - Stipulate 1959 - Gitano 1958 - Lawful 1957 - Passive/Gibraltar 1956 - Syntax 1955 - Somerset Fair 1954 - Fox Myth 1953 - Programme 1952 - Dalray 1951 - Mainbrace 1950 - Sweet Spray 1949 - Tauloch 1948 - Sweet Nymph 1947 - Beau Le Havre 1946 - Lady Foxbridge 1945 - Coronaire 1944 - Expanse 1943 - Indian Princess 1942 - Regal Fox 1941 - Kindergarten 1940 - Beau Vite 1939 - Defaulter 1938 - Courtcraft 1937 - Essex 1936 - Greek Shepherd 1935 - Gay Blonde 1934 - Red Manfred 1933 - Silver Scorn 1932 - Bronze Eagle 1931 - Karapoti 1930 - Hunting Cry 1929 - Red Heckle 1928 - Martarma 1927 - Commendation 1926 - Star Stranger 1925 - Count Cavour 1924 - Ballymena 1923 - Enthusiasm 1922 - Winning Hit 1921 - Gasbag 1920 - Royal Stag 1919 - Gloaming 1918 - Estland 1917 - Sasanof 1916 - Desert Gold 1915 - Reputation 1914 - Cherubini 1913 - Bon Reve 1912 - Counterfeit 1911 - Danube 1910 - Kilwinning 1909 - Husbandman 1908 - Boniform 1907 - Zimmerman 1906 - Multifid 1905 - Gladstone 1904 - Gladsome 1903 - Wairiki 1902 - Menschikoff 1901 - Renown 1900 - Miss Delaval 1899 - Blue Jacket 1898 - St. Crispin 1897 - Nestor 1896 - Fabulist 1895 - Stepfeldt 1894 - Loyalty 1893 - St. Hippo 1892 - Morion 1891 - Medallion 1890 - Tirailleur 1889 - Cuirassier 1888 - Sextant 1887 - Disowned 1886 - Foul Shot 1885 - Tigridia 1884 - Nelson 1883 - Welcome Jack 1882 - Fitz Hercules 1881 - Tim Whiffler 1880 - Libeller 1879 - Omega 1878 - Venus Transit 1877 - Danebury 1876 - Ariel 1875 - Toi
