Name the race - People's vote

And then there were three.  

The shortlist has been decided for the brand new $200,000 4YO race at Addington Raceway on Friday, December 6.

To mark the first ever running of the Group 1 HRNZ held a "name the race" competition.

The response was incredible, with entries closing on Thursday, October 17.

The three finalists have now been found :

The Christian Cullen
The Southern Cross
The Terror To Love

Terror To Love and Christian Cullen were (of course) champions in their own right.

Terror To Love was a three-time NZ Cup champion who won five races and over $550K in stakes as a 4YO
The Southern Cross is a constellation with strong parallels with the new race - it is full of stars!
Christian Cullen was a former NZ Cup Champion who won the perfect 12 from 12 (including two in Australia) as a 4YO, earning $750K in stakes.

Now it's up to you to decide.

Voting is now open for the three options and will close on Friday. The winner will be declared early next week.

The person who submitted the winning name will win :

Two tickets to the Silks Lounge (including food and drink) or six tickets to the ZM On The Green on Cup Day!
And the chance to be on the stage trackside at Addington Raceway on Derby Day (December 6) to watch the race and presentation and then attend the Breckon Winning Owners' bar with the winning connections.
