While the Melbourne Cup had to go without its usual crowds, today's New Zealand Trotting Cup will be celebrated by more than 12,000 punters at Addington Raceway today.

The harness race is one of the main events on the Christchurch social calendar, and this year the cup is worth more than $500,000.

The race is the first leg in the celebrated Cup and Show week which this year is going ahead without the Show.
