Shahzada (horse race)

The Shahzada Memorial Endurance Test is a horse race that has been held annually at St. Albans, New South Wales, Australia since 1981.

It is an endurance race, where competitors must complete a 400-kilometre (250 mi) cross-country route.^[1] The race is described as the longest endurance race in the world.

It is named after a purebred Arabian stallion Shahzada (GB) foaled in 1913, winner of two 300 mile endurance races carrying 13½ stone. He was imported to Australia from England in 1925.^[1]
