BLAST FROM THE PAST

1901 NZ HANDICAP: Won by Monte Carlo

1901 NEW ZEALAND HANDICAP

In 1901 the New Zealand Handicap, the forerunner of the Cup, was confined to horses that could do 5 min or better for two miles and according to "The Referee", "an excellent field of seven went to the post." Mr T Yarr's Monte Carlo, the outsider, won comfortably in 4:50 4-5 beating Albert and Victory.

The unplaced horses were Vickery, The Heir, What and All Day.

Monte Carlo by Lincoln Yet was trained and driven by B Edwards.
