For Historical Race Winners and connections of the Great Races of Wellington please Click HERE. Racing is in the blood of Wellingtonians with a horse race held at what is now Taranaki Street, Wellington, in September 1840, as part of the first anniversary celebrations.
A jockey club was established in Wellington in 1841 not long after the first settlers arrived in Petone in 1839, however it went out of existence after only two years. The Wellington Jockey Club was re established in 1865 and had a more permanent home in 1873. Racing took place at this time in various locations including Petone foreshore, Lyall Bay, Burnham Water Miramar and the Old Hutt Park course. Celebrating the history of the WellingtonCup, the outstanding trophy that was originally presented to the winner of the 1894 race, T Sheenans Vogengang , ridden by Derret, is back on display as part of the annual celebration that is the Wellington Cup Carnival.
Work Started in 1922 on three stands, The Leger demolished in the 1998 , and the reinforced concrete cantilevered public and members stands which still dominate and provide excellent viewing today. In a rush to have the stands completed for the January 1924 cup week, the workers were compensated with chocolate and nylons to work extra hours over the Christmas and New Year period with the stands being opened on time!. The roof was added to the members stand in the 1950's with the annex area developed during the 1960's. During both the first and second World Wars Trentham was used by the armed forces in various roles, including as the Wellington Racecourse Hospital which opened in 1939.
Since that time various parcels have been sold including areas to General Motors, Hutt International Boys School and the Summerset Retirement village. The first National Yearling sales were held at Trentham from 1927 until their move north in the 1987 and provided a big part of the excitement of cup week. In 1928 a little known unpolished colt was sold at Trentham for 168 pounds and exported to Australia. The Queen visited Trentham in 1953 and again in 1970 with the Queen Mother also enjoying the racing in 1958
