Great Northern Derby (harness)

Great Northern Derby (harness)

The Great Northern Derby is a harness racing event for 3 year old standardbreds. It is a major event for 3 year old colts and geldings in New Zealand. It is run at Alexandra Park in Auckland, the night before the thoroughbred New Zealand Derby as part of Auckland Cup Week in early March. The 2009 stake of $600,000 will be the richest for 3-year-olds in Australasia.
