Yes the difference though is environmental. Their rainy season is also their summer and their best growing conditions. Grass doesn't grow all that well during a wet, cold and windy winter in NZ.

Yes but the temperature is consistently the highest as are the sunshine hours during June. The air temperature is in the 30's as is the soil temperature. An average of 11 days during the month are rain free. I'm not sure what weather station you are using but the main HK observatory has less rainfall than what you state. Granted it still rains a lot during the rainy season but then Hong Kong adjusts it racing calendar to suit. They don't race from 16 July to the first weekend in September. In July there are only seven racing meetings shared between Shatin and Happy Valley.

No the point is that many people believe that the Strathayr track is the magic exlir. The reality is that a Strathayr track has limitations and don't forget that there are two in Hong Kong as well as dirt tracks. What is the horse population in HK?

I agree Curious - a great effort and should be applauded. It is a hard game to do well in and Wallace and Waterford have done very well in a short space of time. Granted they have had big cheque books behind them but you don't get that unless you put in the hard yards. You are right I doubt any other NZ bloodstock agent has achieved that level of success. The China Horse Club doesn't have unlimited funds and so it is up to a bloodstock agent to select horses from the yearling draft. You can't buy all of them.
