Hores of the 9th Japan Cup victory (NEW　ZEALAND Stamp booklet)

New Zealand and horse racing are old acquaintances. The first thoroughbred named Figaro arrived in the country in 1840. However, the first recorded race in New Zealand was in 1835 in the Bay of Islands.
The “Sport of Kings” is a well recognised feature of New Zealand life. The big meetings attract huge crowds and generate much excitement with harness racing also making a big impact along with the more established gallops. The horse racing industry that employs tens of thousands of people and New Zealand-bred yearlings attract buyers from around the world and bring in millions of dollars in export earnings annually. Six of the country's more recent crowd-pleasers are featured in this special Racehorses stamp issue.

A special miniature sheet booklet was produced in conjunction with the stamp issue incorporating seven miniature sheets - six of which contained one of the six stamps from the issue with the seventh containing all six of the Racehorse stamps.
