Tarzino Trophy History

The Tarzino Trophy has changed names plenty of time. It started off as a Mudgeway Stakes before being renamed the Challenge Stakes. 

It has been won by many of New Zealand’s finest thoroughbreds, including Kawi, Ocean Park, Mufhasa, Tavistock, Sunline, Seachange and Xcellent. 

It has been one of the best form guides for Australian racing and many of the winners have crossed the Tasman and had great success.  

With it being the first leg of the Hawke’s Bay Triple Crown, it always attracts a quality field in late August.
