A-Z New Zealand Cup - C

It’s 24 days to the New Zealand Cup.

From now to November 10 we will feature some of the great races, horses and personalities  with a new letter for each day.

C = Christian Cullen 

At the time Christian Cullen was the shortest priced New Zealand Cup favourite in the modern era. And he duly won in 1998  ahead of defending champion Iraklis in a time of 4:00.4.   Cullen paid   $1.90 and $1.40. Now 26 Christian Cullen finished racing in 2000 with 22 wins from 31 starts ($1.249,150) before embarking on a stellar career at stud.
