Harness racing in New Zealand
Harness racing in New Zealand is more often called trotting in the "old school" rather than the more fashionable name of "harness racing".〔(Trotting in New Zealand with reinsman C C Devine )〕 The sport is long standing with events being held as early as 1864. In New Zealand trotting as a sport involves both pacing and trotting competitions for Standardbred racehorses.〔(Original History of trotting in New Zealand )〕
==History==
Trotting races were held as part of the programme of some of the galloping meetings in the Otago Southland area as early as 1864. The first totalisators were introduced about this time. They faced opposition from a curious alliance of bookmakers and anti-gambling factions but were approved by the Clubs and licensed by the Colonial Secretary. The first trotting race on a racecourse in Canterbury, in 1875, before the totalisator was introduced, the stake was only about a "tenner" (£10), but the match created a lot of interest. About 1880, Lower Heathcote Racing Club was founded, supporting gallops, but added trotting events to its programme, giving smaller stakes. Some years later the club discontinued gallops and became the Lower Heathcote Trotting Club, which gave stakes ranging from £15 to £35.〔
The New South Wales bred, Lawn Derby, racing un-hoppled, was the first pacer to break the two-minute barrier in Australia or New Zealand when he recorded 1:59.4 at the Addington track in New Zealand in 1938.〔(Brisbane racing: Did you know these harness racing facts? ) Retrieved 2010-7-18〕
From these early stages, the sport has developed with top races and top horses from then right up to the present day.
