With Warrnambool’s Jericho Cup (4600m) now only five weeks away, a golden ticket into the A$300,000 race is up for grabs in Saturday’s $40,000 NZB Airfreight Road to Jericho (3000m) at Riccarton.

At 3210 metres, New Plymouth’s $30,000 NZB Airfreight Road to Jericho is the longest flat race run in New Zealand every year, and at the end of Saturday’s 2022 edition, there was nothing more than a nose separating first and second.
