Cuddle was an outstanding New Zealand Thoroughbred racemare that won a large number of major races including the 1935 and 1936 Auckland Cups in race record time. She went to Australia in 1936, where she won a number of races including the Doncaster Handicap. [1]
Cuddle was a filly foaled in 1929 by the good racehorse and sire, Psychology (GB) out of the place-getter, Caress (NZ) by the leading sire, Martian. [2]
Her regular rider in New Zealand was Jim Ellis. When she went to Australia she was ridden by expatriate New Zealanders Keith Voitre and Maurice McCarten.
Cuddle was the dam of eight foals for seven starters and six winners, including:
She has the “Cuddle Stakes” named after her, a race for fillies and mares run at Trentham Racecourse.
