The New Zealand Sires Stakes 3yo Final is an event for 3-year-old pacing horses in New Zealand.[1] The race is one of the major harness races in New Zealand and is contested by the top three-year-old horses, who have to qualify in heats run throughout New Zealand in the preceding six weeks.
Until 2021 it was run on the same day as the New Zealand Trotting Cup. After no race in 2022, the 2023 event was moved to May.
