Top 10 Favourite Australasian Races

Recommended Posts

It's raining and I'm bored - was hoping to see the Wellington Steeples, one of my favourite races of the year, which started me thinking of what my top 10 would be - not by class, but by enjoyment and anticipation.

Here goes:

Melbourne Cup

Cox Plate

NZ Derby

Great Northern (bye bye)

Auckland Cup

Wellington Cup

Wellington Steeples

Queen Elizabeth

Hastings Triple Crown (yes, I'm having them as one event)

The Everest

 

Special mention to The Jericho, NZ Oaks, AJC & VRC Derby, and that 2800m on Cup day that I always watch to see if anything pops up for next year - there's bound to be something I've forgotten.

Looking at the list, I obviously enjoy watching/betting on the staying events.

Thoughts?
