The Rowe Cup is run over a distance of 3200 m. Along with the Dominion Handicap raced at Addington Raceway it is one of the major harness races for trotters rather than pacers.[1][2]
The Rowe Cup is currently held in late May on the same night as the Auckland Cup and Northern Trotting Derby for 3 year old trotters.
