Just read this on Harnesslink, what a Stat

Between the 14th of December 2018 and the 19th of January 2019 there were 15 Group 1 and Group 2 races at various tracks throughout Australia with a New Zealand bred winning a staggering 14 of those 15 Group races.

It is mind boggling to see the results of New Zealand breds winning and completely dominating almost all Group racing in Australia over this period.

Im sure this will please NZBS and all those breeders who have horses entered in upcoming sales. Thats where it all begins and  thus allows for future reinvestment

The biggest stat is the % of NZ breds running in all those races. They are listed for all the group races and it is astonishing reading. 

Wether or not we have been more proactive  in our selection of blood lines compared to Australia , it's a telling indictment to the Australian breeding industry. 

We have a healthy breeding and as some will acknowledge because of one particular practitioner also an exporting business here in NZ as well. Read into that what you will.

I saw Preston pans ran 2nd again at menangle, I thought he would have been a better propersition on the smaller tracks in Victoria. Didn't have the speed to lead yesterday and sat 1+1 led with 50m to go and got bombed on the line

Yes its totally amazing, i saw the numbers you referred to and even contemplated posting a few but didn't know where to start

As for the export comment NZ was developed on trading for a livelihood and now its just different things. Gallops business way bigger than Harness due to more selling options

Mind boggling indeed.

I have said this before but when I went to Melton I was shocked at the conditioning of the horses, far from representative I know but gave me an inkling of why Kiwi breds clean up.

Were many all stars horses?

He had a couple of workouts in Auckland before he left for Australia.

Cheers.

Leave my horse alone?. He will get better, got lots of upside and still lightly raced.

He will definately improve with racng over there.  For many it takes several starts to get used to the hard pace of Aussie racing and the constant racing never mind their way of training. Throw in the heatwave they are having and the incessant flies, i would say he has done very well to gain 2 seconds in his two runs.  

Sicario an ex All stars horse has been sold to WA. Watch it be a stat over there and grow another leg.

Yep, he will flourish in WA. He is a very good horse, just add it to the list. 

Prestonpans to my mind after following him from trial time to racetrack will make a good Grand Circuit horse eventually and wouldn't be surprised to see him at nxt yrs Inters going on progress so far.

Your right Harewood, they will turn him into a huge star.

Chase Auckland remains the most interesting Chariots player.

He returned from more than 10 months out through injury with a well-held fourth to Kevin Pizzuto’s Chariots hopeful, Picard, at Menangle last Saturday night.

Opinions varied on the run, but Purdon said it was “about what we expected to be honest.”

“We’ve done everything we can at home, he just needs the racing now and he’ll come on a lot from the other night,” he said.

“He’ll back-up in the Hondo Grattan (a Chariots qualifier) at Menangle this week.”

Back to the original reason for this thread. the latest figures in Ozzie for 2017/18 season

Let’s look at season 2017-2018 in Australia; and we see, incredibly, New Zealand bred standardbreds, incredibly, have accounted for:

  • 14 individual New Zealand-bred Group One winners claimed twenty-two Group One pacing features in Australia
  • Five individual New Zealand-bred trotters claimed a Group One feature in Australia
  • Kiwi horses claimed 32% of all eligible Group One races in Australia
  • Kiwi pacers were a dominant force claiming 71% of all combined eligible Group One races in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales
  • Kiwi trotters triumphed in 19% of all Group One features in Victoria
  • New Zealand standardbreds laid claim to 41% of all stakes races in Australia
  • Nearly half (47%) of all pacing eligible stakes races in Australia were won by New Zealand-breds
  • 50% of all trotting stakes races in Queensland last season were claimed by kiwi horses
  • New Zealand was the leading source of eligible Group One winners in  Western Australia & New South Wales
  • New Zealand-bred horses won 91% of all eligible pacing Group One races in  Western Australia
  • 10 of the 16 eligible pacing stakes races in Queensland were won by New Zealand-bred horses 
  • 67% of all eligible pacing stakes races in Western Australia were claimed by kiwi horses
  • 59% of all combined eligible pacing stakes races in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales were won by New Zealand-breds
  • Lazarus, Ultimate Machete, Franco Edward and Let It Ride all achieved Group One doubles in Australia

 

Despite all the local  doom and gloom from some participants  it must follow that some Kiwi's are making money from harness racing, be it breeders or those selling/racing tried horses to Australia
