Nice observation Mr Galah. and Ray Green is one of the 'very few' who pushed hard to get 2 year olds racing every year. He probably has more Numbers from the yearling sales to do it with. the big stables should try at least 10 yearlings each year (even more if possible) as one in 10 horses can usually make the races ok as a 2 year-old going by laws of averages and numbers)
NZ trainers/owners traditionally give their horses extra time to develope and grow and are reluctant to push them to maximum thrust at a young age . wasn't long ago some NZ men didn't even race them as 3 yearolds on occasion.
We are 6 weeks off half way mark through the 2 year old season and more should be stepping out now. but most will still wait till the Spring. QLD is fairly similar. Our weekly 2 year-old race ran yesterday ( with 6 starters)
Winter a good time to Spell them generally and work them up through the Spring , and assault the Big Nov Dec racing which includes the rich Sires Stakes ( That Marketplace won brilliantly last year )
The best are still to come !. so don't panic yet . It's just cold old Winter at the moment.
