NZ Group & Listed Race Winners

This is the complete record of every Group and Listed race won in New Zealand across five seasons, 514 races from 2021 to 2025, set out the way a breeder reads it. The breeder sits beside the winner in every line, alongside the sire and the dam, because the point of this record is not who won but where the winner came from.

Read across the seasons and the change is stark. In 2021 there were 90 black type races worth $7.08 million. In 2025 there were 136 worth $14.05 million. The stakes have doubled in five years. What has not moved is the number of Group 1 races, which has sat between thirty and thirty nine throughout. The growth has come almost entirely at Listed and Feature level, in races like The Race By Betcha at $1 million, The TAB Trot at $600,000, The Ascent at $500,000 and The Velocity at $480,000, none of which existed at the start of this record.

The sire column reads as a single fact. Bettor's Delight sired the winner of 117 of the 514 races, close to one in every four black type races run in this country over five seasons. Majestic Son and Muscle Hill follow on forty apiece and Captaintreacherous on thirty eight, with Art Major on twenty seven. Five stallions account for nearly half the list.

The breeder column is the better read. Breckon Farms lead with forty three and Woodlands Stud follow on thirty three, as befits their scale. But third on the list are John and Katrina Price of Winton with twenty races and $1.52 million, an operation they themselves describe as small next to the established names. Cullen Breeding have nineteen and Taffy Limited fifteen. Scroll further and the roll is dominated by couples and partnerships who bred one good horse and saw it through. Black type is not the preserve of the large operations, and this record is the plainest evidence of it we hold.

Follow a single horse and the value of five seasons together becomes obvious. Muscle Mountain won twenty Group and Listed races between 2021 and 2024, six of them Group 1, every one bred by Cullen Breeding Limited. Republican Party has fifteen and $1.3 million, Akuta thirteen, Oscar Bonavena and Millwood Nike twelve each. Careers of that shape do not show up on a single season's page.

Stakes shown are the total race stake, not the winner's share, and are not adjusted between seasons. Time is the race time and M/R the winning mile rate, so a Group 1 and the speed it was run in sit side by side.

NZ Group & Listed Winners | Honour Roll

Pick a season, then narrow with the filters. Gait gives pacing or trotting or both, Status filters to Gp1, Gp2, Gp3 or Listed, and the age chips run from Open down to the two year olds. The chips change to match each season, since the age divisions have not been constant across the five years.

Search anything. The box looks across race names, winners, breeders, sires and dams at once, ignoring your filters, and returns results from every season with each row labelled. Search a sire to see every black type winner he has left here. Search a breeder to see everything they have bred. Search a race name to follow it year by year.

Click any name for a full record. Winners, breeders, sires and dams are all clickable. The panel gives a tally by grade and lists every race, with separate sections for Won, Bred, Sired and Produced where a name appears in more than one role.

Colour marks the grade, darkest for Gp1 down to the palest for Listed, so the page can be scanned without reading every line.

The counter under the filters gives the race count and total stakes for whatever you are looking at, and each section header shows how many races it holds.

On a phone each race becomes its own card, with the winner shown large and every field labelled.
