Southern Filly of the Year

NZB has been the proud sponsor of the Southern Filly of the Year Series since the 2000-01 season.

The Series is an important part of the southern racing calendar, designed to assist with the long-term growth and success of the New Zealand breeding industry by providing opportunities for good fillies to earn valuable black-type. 

The title is awarded to the three-year-old filly who succeeds in winning the most points after the completion of the four races in the Series, with the trophy awarded to connections at the South Island Awards. The 2022-23 Southern Filly of the Year winner will also receive an insurance policy from NZB Insurance to the value of $50,000 + GST.

The runaway winner of the 2022-21 season is Reputabelle (NZ) (Pins), who finished on the table with 16 points. A class above her opposition, Reputable won two of the three legs of the Southern Filly of the Year Series, claiming the Listed NZB Airfreight Stakes (1400m) and the Listed NZB Insurance Stakes (1600m) before running a brave third in the Listed NZB Warstep Stakes (2000m). She has now had eight starts for four wins and a third, amassing $99,090 in prizemoney.

In the event of two fillies having equal points following the running of the final leg, the filly with the best finishing position in the NZB Warstep Stakes will be determined as the winner of the Series. 

By sponsoring this coveted Series, NZB is working to ensure the owners, breeders, and trainers in the New Zealand racing and breeding industry are attractively rewarded.
