Dunedin Gold Cup History


*1958: Held in February (won by Shoal) and in December (won by Canon)
**1942: Dead-heat

Called the Dunedin Jockey Club (DJC) Dunedin Cup to 1964, the DJC Dunedin Gold Cup from 1965 - 1972, and Otago Racing Club Dunedin Gold Cup from 1973 - Present. A race by the same name was held prior to 1874, sponsored by the Otego Jockey Club (replaced by the Dunedin Jockey Club in 1871).

Distances
1874 - 1894: 2 miles (3200 meters, 16 furlongs)
1895 - 1898: 1-3/4 miles (2800 meters, 14 furlongs)
1899 - 1993: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)
1994 - 1999: 1-7/16 miles (2300 meters, 11.5 furlongs)
2000 - 2004: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)
2005 - 2006: 1-3/8 miles (2200 meters, 11 furlongs)
2007 - Present: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)

NSB-- "Non Stud Book" ("NTB" in Australian Stud Book) female lines not admitted into the Australian Stud Book because the pedigrees of the foundation mares were lost or otherwise unprovable. Herbert Wanklyn and A.F. Howarth compiled a list of such families in 1949, as did Douglas Barrie in the 1950s. These are different from the so-called Colonial families only in that they were not deliniated in the Bobinski and subsequent Shirai family tables.
