The Auckland Cup is one of the most prestigious events in the world of harness racing. Even more, probably, it’s one of the most popular trotting events in the world. We take an early look at the New Zealand Derby odds to make our predictions. Based on the statistics we will name the five horses who have the highest chance to achieve victory.

The Auckland Cup and mostly the New Zealand Derby have an unbelievable tradition. Harness racing is a thing in Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, it’s not a surprise that the event is still as important and popular as it was decades ago. That’s why online gambling sites in New Zealand have already created their wagers.

The run will take place in early April. The challenge is a set-weight race on 2400 meters only for 3-year-old thoroughbreds. That already makes things interesting. Young horses on a long track. These events always have breathtaking moments in the beginning and in the end as well. Even more, based on the New Zealand Derby odds we can expect an exciting race for the places on the podium as well. Five horses are leading the predictions, head to head.

Based on the New Zealand Derby Odds at 22BET „Copy That” is most likely to achieve the first place

This spring is Copy’s last opportunity to run with the younger horses because his birthday is in May. So, the New Zealand Trophy is his last chance to write history. In his previous 5 races, he was a step away from the world record on the longer distances (over 2000m). This time the stakes are even higher because this race is not just about money but about prestige as well. His attempts to beat the world record puts him in the front of the New Zealand Derby odds. He leads the predictions of the 22BET Sportsbook with his 3.00 odds, as you can see below in the table.

Copy That has outstanding performances, however, he has four talented challengers as well

As you can see above in the table, the odds on the potential shoo-ins are pretty close to each other. Ante-post harness and horse races are always like this. All the odds are high because all the information that we can rely on is their statistics from the previous events. Still, every track is different and a couple of months can cause significant changes in a horse performance. Therefore, we can say that it’s impossible to make 100% predictions in this early period. Copy That leads the statistics but the aggressive riding that his competitors represent can push him off the podium.

Line Up means a threat to him because he is just a step away from finishing the track as fast as Copy. Italian Lad and One Change also can be a problem for the potential winner. They race as madmen and they do anything to achieve victory.
