Trentham Stakes

The Trentham Stakes is a Group 3 weight-for-age race held for thoroughbred racehorses at Trentham Racecourse near Wellington, New Zealand conducted by the Wellington Racing Club.

Held over 2100 metres in January, it is seen as the main lead-up race to the Wellington Cup, which is run the following week.[1]

History

The race was changed:

  • from a 2400m journey to 2100m in 2009, and
  • from Free-for-all to set weight & penalties in 2012.

The 1989 race was named in the January 31 'Upper Hutt Leader' as the Mobil Wellington Stakes, and was won by the Melbourne Cup winning mare Empire Rose.

The 2020 edition was raced for a total stake of $70,000 on the same date as the $225,000 Group 1 Levin Classic and the $70,000 Group 3 Anniversary Handicap.
