Tauhei Notts 1,413 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 So I looked at a 1952 book and saw that the average at the Melbourne yearling sales was 467 guineas compared to 532 guineas at the Trentham sales. Balloch was NZ's leading stallion with progeny earnings of 47,798 pounds compared with Midstream in Aussie with 64,404 pounds. The Auckland Cup' stake of 12,500 pounds compared favourably with the Melbourne Cup stake (won by Dalray) of 15,000 pounds. Keep in mind that at that time the Aussie pound was worth just 16 shillings NZ currency. So the Auckland Cup was worth, get this, 15,625 Australian pounds! That is how far we have slipped.

Now that figure is 12% with a doubling of the earnings in Australia where we have only increased by 29% Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Squirrel 315 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 I can see the point you are making but just one stat that makes it look worse is that Snitzel's son Redzel did win A$5.8m in one hit when he won the Everest. That is an outlier that should be considered I would think? gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of things that need to be watched....today's episode of Bred to Win at 2.30pm. The rest of the World is talking about marketing the horse where our marketing team are marketing betting. Any relatively intelligent person would realise that the horse comes first...especially when it finishes racing. puha, Insider, hedley and 2 others 2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berri 2,131 Report post Posted May 29, 2018 Every stallion has a chance for their progeny to win these races. Leaving any race out of the pool is ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
