The U.S has the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont. New Zealand has the Wellington Cup. Nowhere near the size or prestige of the U.S. races, it was still fun to go out and place a few bets, drink some champers, and watch the horses. I picked a few winners over the course of the day, but not the winner of the Cup itself.
